Preparation
Step 1
Get a vessel and pour some water. Add salt and turmeric powder and stir in potato cubes.
Step 2
Boil and cook in low fire until the potato is half cooked. Strain and set aside.
Step 3
Combine and grind the ingredients for the marinade to a fine paste.
Step 4
Coat the half cooked potato cubes with the marinade and leave aside for a few minutes.
Step 5
Place a pan on the stove and pour some oil. Heat the oil and fry shallots and ginger. Add marinated potato cubes and curry leaves and cook in low heat until it becomes dry.
Step 6
Season with salt. Potato musakhan, a favorite dish of Malabar, can be served with chapathi or bread.
Tip
Fresh curry leaves make a genuine difference. Dried curry leaves are a poor substitute — if you cannot get fresh ones, increase the quantity and fry them longer.
