Introduction

About this Recipe

You could literally grow everything you need to make this recipe, very simply in your own vegetable garden. Watch as Guddi shows you how easy it is to grow potatoes!

Gather your spices!

  • Cumin seeds
  • Black mustard seeds
  • Coriander powder
  • Kashmiri red chili
  • Turmeric powder
  • Himalayan pink salt
  • Black peppercorns

I always have a good supply of spice stocked away. Also growing herbs is easy, especially cilantro which I use almost every day. 

Turmeric and ginger are two roots that can be grown easily from store bought rhizomes.

Spicy and savory. You could omit the potatoes and lower the carbohydrate count; increase the protein by adding chucks of spicy panfried paneer at the end.

Equipment

  • Kadai pan,

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp Ghee
  • 1 tbsp Mustard oil Omit if you don't have it
  • 1 tsp Cumin seeds
  • 1 tsp Black mustard seeds
  • 2 tsp Ginger Fresh grated
  • 1 Tomato Chopped
  • 1 tsp Coriander powder
  • 1 tsp Kashmiri red chili
  • 1 tsp Turmeric powder
  • 1/2 tsp Black peppercorns Fresh grated
  • 1 tsp Himalayan pink salt
  • 1/2 cup Water Approximately
  • 2 Potatoes Peeled and cubed
  • 2 cups Green beans Fresh, bite-size
  • 1 tbsp Cilantro Fresh chopped

Instructions

  • Heat the ghee and mustard oil in the kadai pan. Add the cumin, black mustard seeds, and ginger to ghee and stir fry a few seconds 'til seeds pop and sizzle.
  • Add the diced tomato and cook over low heat until soft, stirring frequently.
  • Add the coriander, turmeric, chili, salt and pepper. Stir to mix. Add the water.
  • Add the cut green beans and cubed potatoes. Mix and stir frequently. Cover and cook until vegetables are done, about 15 minutes, stirring frequently, and adding more water if necessary.
  • Remove from heat; stir in the fresh coriander (cilantro) leaves and serve.

Notes

If you don't have the mustard oil, you can omit it, but it does give a nice and unique flavor. I'm pretty sure mustard oil is not approved for eating outside of Asian countries like India where it is used almost exclusively. So what you may find is mustard oil that is "not for consumption, for external use only", which must be stated by law. 
All I'm going to say is, a lot of people use mustard oil for cooking all around the world.
You decide.
