Mash Potatoes - Pav Bhaji Style, Vegan Comfort Food
Classic mashed potatoes with a warming twist that adds a colour and dancing taste buds to the table. This is one of my favourite things to make and share.
Serve 4 as a starter or a side
Serves 2 as a main meal
| Ingredients | |
| 2 tsp cumin seeds | |
| 4 thinly sliced spring onions | |
| 1/2 a chopped red chilli | |
| 1/2 inch grated fresh ginger | |
| Mash potatoes (from 350 g potatoes, boiled) | |
| 1 tin chopped tomatoes (or 400 g fresh finely chopped tomatoes) | |
| 1 tin marrow fat peas (or 200 ml dried marrowfat peas soaked overnight and boiled) | |
| 1 and 1/2 tsp coriander powder | |
| 1/2-1 tsp Kashmiri chilli powder | |
| 1 tsp turmeric powder | |
| 2 tsp garam masala (I used one with fennel in, alternatively add 1/4 tsp ground fennel) | |
| 1/2 tsp dried mango powder | |
| 2 -3 tsp salt or to your liking | |
| Oil for frying (sesame seed oil is good for winter) |
| Let's do this: | |
| 1) | Gather and prepare your ingredients. |
| 2) | Heat a frying pan with 2 tbsp oil |
| 3) | Add the cumin seeds, after about 30 seconds in a hot pan they become a little darker |
| 4) | Add spring onions, chilli and ginger - fry until they get soft and the smell of raw ginger evaporates |
| 5) | Stir in the mashed potatoes - fry 1-2 minutes, |
| 6) | Keep the pan hot while stirring in chopped tomatoes - fry until everything comes together. |
| 7) | Last step is adding the marrowfat peas along with the spices |
| 8) | Fry for 2 minutes. |
| 9) | Turn the heat down and let it cook for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes turn the heat down to low until you are ready to serve. |
Great, job done! You are ready to serve as a starter or to share with your favourite people.
