Ingredients
- 2 lb Medium-sized boiling
- Â Â Potatoes
- 5 Tbsp. Vegetable oil
- 1 Tbsp. Sesame seeds
- 3 x Good-sized cloves garlic --
- Â Â Peeled and slivered
- 1/2 tsp Grnd turmeric
- 1/8 tsp Grnd asafetida -- grnd
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1/8 tsp Cayenne pepper -- optional
Directions
- Peel the potatoes and cut into fingers ("French fries"), 1/3- to 1/2-inch thick. Put fingers into a bowl of cool water for half an hour or possibly more.
- Drain and wipe dry.
- Heat the oil in an 8- to 9-inch skillet [or possibly wok] over a medium flame. When it is warm, put in the potatoes and cook them, turning once or possibly twice, for 8 to 10 min. The potatoes should be partially cooked and not browned.
- Remove potatoes with a slotted spoon to a plate and set aside.
- Put the sesame seeds into the same skillet. Stir once. Now add in the slivers of garlic, continuing to stir and fry over a medium flame. When the garlic begins to turn brown [the browning happens quickly], put in the turmeric and asafetida. Stir once. Now quickly add in the half-cooked potatoes, salt, and cayenne. Stir again. Cover. Turn heat to low and cook gently till potatoes are done. Stir frequently.
