Excellent recipe. I made a double batch and made a few adjustments. Used 2 pounds of potatoes, a double mix of spices but only two onions. Also added a couple of tablespoons of chopped coriander (cilantro) stems at the very end. One of our guests doesn't cope well with chilli, so I used paprika instead. I look forward to making these with the heat, but they were completely delicious without it. Thanks so much for posting.

This is SO quick, easy and delicious! I have made lots of Indian potato dishes, but none with pre-cooked potatoes. It is a huge time saver to cook them in the microwave first, and the flavor is still wonderful. The amounts of spices were spot on too. I took A&A's mum's advice and used cumin seeds and added 6 curry leaves. I also used one onion and less oil and Indian chili powder, since it is very hot. Yum yum!

This is a wonderful recipe, so very easy to make. My Mum's recipe is almost similar to this one, except she adds in a small piece of chopped ginger and a few curry leaves. I made it as is but added in cumin seeds instead of ground cumin. Thank you, JoyfulCook for sharing this recipe! :)
