Prep Time: 0 hour, 30 minutes
Cook Time: 0 hour, 15 minutes
Ingredients:
- 6 medium sized red potatoes
- 5-6 tablespoons of fresh lemon or lime juice
- 2 teaspoons cumin powder
- salt to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder (from Indian grocery - not the stuff you use in chili)
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro leaves
Preparation:
1. Boil the potatoes in their jackets until tender but firm. Drain and peel (if desired). Cut them into 1/4 inch cubes.
2. Add the rest of the ingredients to the potatoes and mix well.
3. Let rest, uncovered, at room temperature for 15 minutes so the spices can blend. Toss and serve.
4. Can also make ahead and refrigerate, remove it from the refrigerator 15 minutes before serving.
For the best flavor, buy whole cumin seeds. Gently roast them in a non-stick pan until they brown slightly, then grind in a mortar or a clean coffee grinder you save for spices. The flavor is much more intense and satisfying than the cumin powder you buy in the store.
Variations:
Use more red chili powder if you want it spicier, or none at all if you want it mild.
Add cubed, uncooked banana and mix.
