Method

  1. Bring a large pan of water to the boil. Cook the potatoes for about 10 minutes, until just soft. Then drain and cool under the cold tap.
  2. Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan. Add the onion and cook for 3-5 minutes until soft. Then add the garlic, ginger, whole cumin seeds, mustard seeds, turmeric, ground cumin and coriander. Cook for a minute, then add the potatoes to the pan.
  3. Cook over a low heat for 10 minutes, stirring often, until the potato is well coated in the spice mixture. Add the tomato wedges and cook for 5 minutes more until they just start to soften. Adjust the seasoning to taste and sprinkle over the coriander to serve.
