Yoghurt with Potatoes
Ingredients
300 gr. potatoes, boiled in their skins, drained and cooled for 2 hours
2 cups yoghurt
2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
1 Tbsp. fresh coriander or parsley, chopped
1 tsp. whole cumin seeds
1/2 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. hot paprika or more to taste
black pepper to taste
Directions
Transfer the yoghurt to a mixing bowl, add half the salt and a sprinkling of black pepper. Beat lightly with a whisk until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Correct the seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
Peel the potatoes and cut into 1/2 inch (1 cm.) dice. In a skillet heat the oil over a medium flame and when hot put in the cumin seeds. Let the seeds sizzle for 4 - 5 seconds, add the diced potatoes, the remaining salt, black pepper to taste and the cayenne. Stir and cook gently for 4 - 5 minutes and then correct the seasoning with salt and cayenne pepper to taste.
Remove from the flame and let cool for 5 minutes. Pour the con- contents of the skillet into the bowl with the yoghurt, stir gently and garnish with the fresh coriander or parsley.
