Potato Leek Subzi with fennel and mustard seeds. Potato leek stir fry with Indian spice. Easy side. Vegan glutenfree soyfree recipe
Jump to Recipe
Meatless Mondays with a quick side subzi(dry vegetable stir fry), using local and in season veggies. Leek and other root veggies are still abundantly available right now. So why not use them in other things apart from soups (Carrot Leek Celery potato soup) Leek when roasted to golden, give this salty garlicky flavor to the dish, which means you can easily eliminate the garlic!
Seattle is finally getting sunny and that means hubbs goes and ends up buying a second hand GSXR after riding it once and since he did not take wife along to play the bad cop, ends up not haggling much for the price! He is now seen riding around Seattle in improper bike gear, with a teethy smile on his face(if you can see it through his helmet that is)
This is one potato dish you can edit to your taste. Add ginger and garlic, add more spices, and make it your own. Serve hot as a side. These will go well with any meal, or as a side in an Indian meal with Daal and flat bread, or with some Dosa(lentil rice crepe) and Pigeon Pea Sambhar soup. More potatoes!…
Potatoes with whole Indian spices. tried and tested by many,
How do you like your potatoes!

Whats a Monday without a message— Say No to Plastic Straws.
Ever wondered where all these plastic straws end up, How many are then thrown out each day? How much oil is procured to make just a day’s worth of disposable plastic straws? What percentage are incinerated? Landfilled? Wind up in waterways?
Plastic bags account for over ten percent of the debris found on US beaches. Plastic bottles account for 21% of all marine debris. Plastic straws.. are the most prolific debris item on US beaches amounting to 27.5% of all marine debris.
The Statistics on debris collected on beaches around the USA.
And this short video by Strawwars.org
In the UK alone, on average 3.5 million McDonald’s customers per day buy a drink – with a straw. That means 3.5 million straws a day are discarded – just by McDonald’s customers.

April 9, 2012 at 7:41 pmLove the message! We don’t use straws in our home 😉 And I’m crazy about recycling and composting, haha.
This sounds soooo good! I love potatoes, and the flavours sound quite similar to a curry. Delicious!

Cara says
April 10, 2012 at 2:42 pmYou cannot talk to me about the debris on the beach. I cannot stand this conversation. Actually, I really cannot stand walking along the beach and *seeing* the litter. It makes me so angry. I try to pick up as much as I can if I go down there. Grrrrrrr.
New subject: so I was watching “Chopped” and for the dessert round, one guy made a microwave sponge cake and it made me think of you 🙂
Richa says

Sonia says
April 13, 2012 at 1:46 amI *heart* potatoes! So when I see a recipe with potatoes, it pretty much automatically goes into my “Must-try” cookbook! 🙂
Wondering how the fennel tastes in this recipe… I’m curious why you chose the fennel instead of cumin seeds?? Thanks for sharing this lovely potato (how i love you potatoes… :)) recipe at Sugar Free Sunday!
Richa says
April 13, 2012 at 7:16 pmThank you Sonia! I love fennel with potatoes.. it makes them feel like samosa filling:) and with the salty leek the fennel balances it with the sweetness!
