Zipptiy doo dah!! We LOVED these potatoes. I'm usually not a big fan of potatoes, but since I was making your chicken balti, I thought I'd give these a try. What fun when biting down and having some of the seeds pop in the mouth. The finish of fresh lemon juice and chopped fresh cilantro was brilliant. Thanks for a great treat.

These are my kind of potatoes. The balance of spices is perfect and the lemon and herb finish it off nicely. Served with grilled organic beef sausages and Recipe #449610. Thanks so much for posting.

I love these potatoes. They're easy to make, and the spice mixture is just right. I used lime juice instead of lemon juice, and thought that addition along with the cilantro really brought everything together. I served this with beef vindaloo, and it was one of the best meals we've had in a while- thanks for posting! [Made & Reviewed for PRMR]

Loved this potato dish! The mustard seeds, along with the other spices, really made this dish stand out and the lemon juice and cilantro really added a freshness to the overall flavor. I served this dish along with recipe#277765 and some Naan bread. We invited a friend over for dinner and he raved about both dishes. Made for Fall PAC, October, 2011.

The only change I made in this recipe was to leave the potato peels on, 'cause we do like that very nutritional part, & your recipe definitely makes for a very nice tasting side dish, what with the combo of spices used! Definitely something I'd make again! Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Tagged & made in Please Review My Recipe]
