A serving of potatoes cooked with tomatoes and cumin

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 1 red chilli, finely chopped

Method

  1. Heat the oil in a saucepan, then add the cumin, ground coriander and onion. Fry on a medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring often to prevent the spices from sticking.

    Feel free to leave out the chilli if you're not a fan of spicy food.

  3. Add the water, cover the pan and cook on high for 8 to 10 minutes.

  4. Tip in the tomatoes and cook uncovered for another 5 to 7 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

  5. Remove from the heat and stir in the fresh coriander just before serving.

    Information:

    Serve as a side as part of a larger meal, or with a salad for a tasty lunch.
