These are the easiest and deliciousest ever potatoes. Some good freshly ground garam masala, salt, ginger, garlic and onions. Yum!
To get the best out of Garam masala spice blend, get some made with whole spices from an Indian store with whole cumin, corinader, bay leaves, cardamom, cinnamon, nutmeg, black pepper and more. You can also make your own, but store the larger quantity in whole spices. Lightly roast a small portion and then grind it and keep to use within a month or two. You can add the Garam masala to any indian vegetable stir fry, or to a gravy, curry or lentil dal soups, bean stews, or sprinkle some on baked potatoes or roasted cauliflower, add to bean burger patties, or use to marinate tempeh or seitan. The possibilities are endless.
You know what else you could do with these potatoes.. Make a Grilled Sandwich!

This was delicious. I even made the garam masala from the supplied link… the first homemade garam masala recipe that I’ve liked. I follow you on Facebook, and although I’ve seen tons of recipes that look yummy, this is the first one I’ve tried. 2 thumbs up, from DH and me. I will definitely be trying more of your recipes!
Hi Richa!
I am looking for a recipe that has sweet potatoes as the main ingredient . I thought I could maybe try this recipe and use the sweet potato instead. They take more time to cook than the other kind of potatoes, don’t they?
you can make this with sweet potatoes. They will take similar amount of time to cook. You can check at 20 minutes, they should be getting quite tender at that point.
