A great side dish, can be a vegetarian main dish also. Has been served at tea time in India as a snack, too! Oil-free, more low-fat cooking with high flavor! :)

I agree with the reviewers who said this recipe has authentic flavors, the spicing is very similar to that used by various friends I have had from south asian countries. I really loved the taste of the cumin seed (which tasted even better after settling for awhile and eating the leftovers). I think I would like this even more if I substituted some of the potato for sweet potato or carrot and added some peas or green beans. The only slight modifications I made was to use two chopped green chillies and to fry the seeds then the onion and chilies in a little bit of olive oil before adding the potatoes, spices and water. Thank you for this recipe.
