Ingredients
Scale
- 3 Yukon Gold potatoes
- 1 Tbs rice flour

- 1 tsp cumin seeds
- 1 tsp ground coriander

Instructions
- Halve the potatoes and boil them for about 15 minutes or until they are tender.
- When they are done, run them under cold water to stop the cooking process and let them cool down.
- When they’ve dried and cooled, slip the skins off and cut the pieces into quarters.
- Sprinkle the potato pieces with the rice flour. Coat them well.
- In a skillet or kadhai heat 2 Tbs of coconut or other vegetable oil.
- When the oil is hot add in the cumin seeds. When the cumin seeds start to crackle, add in all the other spices.
- Keep the heat low and stir the spices around well so that they are mixed into the hot oil.
- When everything is well mixed with the oil, add in the rice flour coated potato pieces.
- Stir them around so that the potato pieces are covered in the spices. Cook them this way for about 7 minutes. Keep stirring so nothing burns. Sprinkle the chopped cilantro over the potatoes and serve them up!
