Red Potatoes Side / Bhaji

Grocery shopping is one of my chores every weekend. I like to plan my menu and get a week's worth of supplies. I find it hard to spare time to shop for groceries during the work week. Sometimes I miscalculate and at the end of the week I am left staring at an empty vegetable drawer. I try to compensate by soaking dry peas/beans but sometimes I forget. On one such Friday I realized that the only vegetables I had were potatoes and an onion. I had plenty of dried herbs so this was the result.


These potatoes are usually eaten for breakfast but I cooked them for lunch. They tasted great with poli.

You will need
4 small red potatoes, peeled and cut into cubes
1/4 small red onion, finely diced
1 tbsp. olive oil
1 tsp. basil
1 tsp. parsley
1 tsp. ginger
salt and pepper to taste

Heat the oil in a saute pan. Add the red onion and saute for a few minutes. Add the potatoes and let them brown. Add the remaining ingredients and saute for a few more minutes.


Enjoy!

  6. Sometimes I am at the opposite end...I buy so many vegetables and then run around trying to finish them all before they get spoilt. This is a simple and .lovely potato dish
