Indian cooking also uses a lot of potatoes, which they spice up to a lovely dish.
Ingredients (2 persons):
600-700g potatoes, cut into small cubes
2 large carrots, sliced
1 large onion, sliced into thin strips
2cm ginger root, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 teaspoon Garam Masala (Indian spice powder - Garam Masala)
1/2 teaspoon Curry powder
Chili powerd (if desired)
200g tofu (pated dry with kitchen paper)
Fry the onions on some vegetable oil until slightly brown and add the carrots, potatoes and ginger. Fry some more so that the potatoes start to get color. Add the garlic and spices. Briefly fry and stir around, but not to long, as you will burn the garlic. Pour in some water to cover everything, add a large pinch of salt, partially over and leave to cook on low heat until the water evaporates.
Meanwhile cut the tofu in small cubes, sprinkle with salt and fry on some oil until crispy.
If after the water has evaporated, the potatoes are not yet cooked, add some more water so that they cook through. Don't allow to become to dry at the end. Serve on a plate and place the fried tofu on top. Garnish with parsley.
Plain yogurt goes well with this dish, especially if you use chili powder.
