A quick post before Mofo begins all October. An easy potato and bell pepper stir fry, with Indian spices.
The brown mustard seeds and coriander seeds are roasted, green bell pepper is browned a bit, potatoes are then added and cooked through. No ginger garlic, just the spices highlighted in this dish. If you havent tried whole coriander seeds in a dish, this is the one to try out. Potatoes and roasted whole coriander seeds are a match made in (my) heaven 😉
Our home search is still on, and we keep looking at 3 floor townhouses. I blabbed on facebook, about how the discussions sometime go from serious house stuff to simple things, like who will go and get the icecream or something else to snack on at mignight. With just 12 steps to the kitchen right now, we still wait for one of us to get up from the bed and get it. What will happen when the distance is 2 flights of stairs and a bunch more steps!:)

This is so easy and I have a whole little jar of coriander seeds that I bought for making pickles – what do the whole seeds taste like when cooked and left in the main dish? Do they sofeten when cooked a bit….I have never really cooked with whole spices!
Richa
The coriander seeds soften when cooked and a burst of flavor when you chew on them. i love certain spices whole because they just are so flavorful whole instead of a well mixed when powdered.

you’re so adorable posting a DAY BEFORE MOFO! this dish does look really freakin good. i can just about taste it!! three floor town houses sound very tall with big distances between the bedroom and kitchen. the house we just bought is a ranch- everything is in relative close proximity 😉
Richa
good for ya! we are looking close to downtown, so horizontal land is high price..so most houses are vertical:)
Hannah
Mustard seeds and potato are such a match made in heaven!
Kristy
I love that the distance from bedroom to the kitchen is a factor in your house-hunting process. You are too funny, but I’m totally with you- You gotta have your priorities in place! 😉
What a lovely little potato dish! I bet the mustard seeds really just make it!
Richa
oh yes.. it is:) we end up watching a movie or just working something late night and always need a midnight snack. and once i am comfy on the bed, its hard to get me out 😉
