Instructions:
- Indian-spiced potato salad
- Place potatoes in a saucepan, add cold water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer.
- While the potatoes are cooking, melt butter in a small pan and add crushed cumin and mustard seeds. Heat slowly until the mustard seeds start popping. Remove from heat, mix in turmeric powder and white wine vinegar, stir thoroughly. Set aside
- To check if the potatoes are cooked, use a sharp knife. Once ready, drain the water and cut the potatoes into smaller pieces while still hot. Pour the butter and vinegar mixture over the potatoes and cooked vegetables, and gently toss to mix everything. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Just before serving, sprinkle the salad with flaked almonds, raisins, spring onions, and coriander leaves. (My husband also likes to add some iceberg lettuce to his.). Serve with the coriander-mint dressing.
- Coriander-mint dressing
