Ingredients:

  • 20 unpeeled baby potatoes
  • 1/2 cup low fat yogurt
  • A pinch asafoetida
  • 2 tsp garlic paste
  • 2 tsp ginger paste

  • 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
  • 2 tsp coriander powder
  • 1 tsp cumin powder

Directions:

  1. Parboil the potatoes until they are just tender. Drain and set aside.

  3. Saute the onions in a separate pan until golden, then add the potatoes and marinade.
