This is a very tasty starter recipe.I had seen it on one of the tv shows some days back.I liked the way it was prepared,so decided to try it as it was very simple recipe and ingredients were also less.I made it with few modifications and i loved its taste.It was just superb.I had not expected that such simple ingredients can give such a good taste and flavour.The pepper and crisp fried garlic become a superb combo along with corainder and give a nice taste.I am damn sure anyone who will taste it will love it.I will definetly say for this recipe that no1 can eat it just once...he he
INGREDIENTS:
10-12 baby potatoes
1/4 cup thinly sliced garlic cloves
1/2 cup chopped corainder leaves
1-2 tea spoons pepper powder
1-2 table spoon fresh cream
salt
oil
METHOD:
Prick the baby potatoes at 1-2 places and half boil them with salt.Now peel them and keep aside.
Heat a non-stick pan and add 2-3 table spoons of oil.I know its lot of oil, but for this recipe its a mustas garlic and corainder needs to be fried till crisp in oil.Now add the sliced garlic and fry till it becomes golden brown.Now add salt in this oil only.This step is important as the salt nicely coats garlic and gives a nice taste.
Now add the half boiled baby potatoes and mix properly.By now the garlic must have got crispy.Do not allow garlic to get burned but it should become crispy, so keep the flame medium low.
Now add chopped corainder and let it also get sauted in the oil along with potatoes.After 2-3 mins of sauting add pepper powder and mix it well so that it gets distributed evenly for all potatoes.Add pepper powder according to your taste, if you want mild flavour add less .I had added bit more as in original recipe and liked it.Now close the lid and cook it for 2 mins.
When done add the cream and saute for 2 mins.Cream is added as cause of it all the other ingredients gets coated on the potatoes, so add it accordingly.Remove from flame.
Serve hot.
NOTE: You can even add little chilli flakes if you want that spicy taste, i had not added it.
If you do not get baby potatoes you can scoop out normal potatoes and use.
Preparation Time: 15 mins
A simple yet delicious one.You have a good collection of recipes.I am following your blog!
Nice recipe...flavour of garlic and pepper in any dish would be very tasty and that too if used in most fav vegetable potato sounds great..and an easy one too..will try this one surely
these potatoes are just perfect for this season...i'd love freshly n coarsely crushed pepper in it and little fresh curds instead of cream...i make a similar one , a favorite of my husband...yummy!!
yummy...this looks a tempting one...i did have peppered potatoes at one of the get together..but havent made them myself..will give a try..
Dear Siddhi
My house painting is over and kitchen started today..And I cooked this dish.It was very nice and different..
thanks for sharing. I normally put a pinch of salt in garlic and keep aside for some time and then fry ..it becomes crispy...I use freshly ground pepper always for the right flavor..I am sure you do the same.
Have a nice weekend
@ushnish
