Description
A delightful Persian potato curry that combines caramelized onions and aromatic spices for a warm and comforting meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 2 large onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- 2 cups vegetable broth or water
- Fresh parsley or cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Sauté the onions: Begin by heating the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook them until they’re beautifully caramelized, stirring occasionally.
- Spice it up: Once the onions are golden, stir in the cumin seeds, turmeric, coriander powder, and garam masala. Cook for an additional minute to let the spices bloom and release their aromatic oils.
- Add the potatoes: Toss in the cubed potatoes, then season with salt and black pepper. Stir well to ensure that the potatoes are coated in the fragrant spice mixture.
- Simmer: Pour in the vegetable broth or water and bring everything to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 20-25 minutes.
- Final touches: Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Just before serving, garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro for a burst of color and flavor.
Notes
Caramelization of onions is key for depth of flavor. Handle turmeric with care as it can stain surfaces.
