Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

2 T Light vegetable oil 4 -5 medium-sized potatoes
1/4 t Whole cumin seeds 1/8 t Asafetida, ground,
1/4 t Turmeric powder -or 1/8-inch lump
1 t Sea salt 1 1/4 c Canned tomato sauce
1 -2 hot red peppers, dried

Wash, peel and quarter potatoes. Place them in a bowl with cold
water to cover.

In 2-3-quart pot, heat oil over medium heat. As it heats, drain
potatoes in a colander. When the oil is hot, add asafetida; after it
sizzles in about 5 seconds, add cumin seeds; when they sizzle and
change color in 5 to 10 seconds, add the red peppers, which will
begin to change color in just 2 or 3 seconds. Now add the drained
potatoes and turmeric. Fry the potatoes for about 2 minutes, stirring
occasionally.

Add 2 cups water, tomato sauce, and salt. Bring to a boil. Cover and
allow to simmer very gently for about 1« hours. Serve in a deep dish
and permit diners to ladle individual servings in their own small
bowls. Flatbreads provide an excellent accompaniment to this dish.
Leftovers can be mashed in a blender to reincarnate as a delicious
soup.
