Me again. Found this on a cooking website and wanted to share it ...

You need these to start with...
Baby potatoes- 20
Coriander leaves - fistful
Mint leaves - fistful
Green chillies - 1 or 2
Cumin seeds - 1/2 tsp.
Black pepper powder - 1/4 tsp.
Kasuri methi - 1 tsp.
Salt - as per taste
Oil - 2 tablespoons


this is how you cook it!

Grind the coriander leaves, mint leaves, green chillies and salt to a fine paste.
Boil, peel and prick the potatoes with a fork. Marinate with the above paste for 1/2 an hour.

Heat oil, add cumin seeds. When it sizzles, add in the marinated potatoes and black pepper powder. Sauté well till you see golden spots on the surface of the potatoes. Crush the kasuri methi with your palms and sprinkle over the potatoes and give a quick sauté. Serve hot.
