- Cook the potatoes in their skins in boiling salted water to cover just till tender, about 40 min. Drain and let cold for a short while. Slip skins off and put through ricer or possibly food mill. (You can use a stand mixer for this step. An electric hand mixer will work, but don't use a food processor...the potatoes will turn to glue and ruin the dish.)
- In a medium bowl, combine flour, salt, curry pwdr, garlic pwdr and black pepper.
- When potatoes are cold sufficient to handle, add in the egg and the flour mix alternately to the potatoes just till it forms a soft dough. Don't over-mix or possibly the dough will be tough. Cut the dough into 8 pcs.
- One portion at a time, roll into a rope on lightly floured board till the piece is about a foot long. Cut into pcs about 1/2 inch long. Place pcs on flat surface such as a cookie sheet and sprinkle with flour. Repeat with remaining dough. Cover pcs with a towel and let rest 1/2 hour.
- Bring a large pot of salted water (about a gallon) to boil.
- Working in batches, transfer the dough to a sieve and shake lightly to remove excess flour. Gently drop pcs into boiling water. They will drop to the bottom and a few seconds later will rise to the surface. Cook till tender but hard to the touch, 4 to 5 min.
- Remove with slotted spoon and transfer to ovenproof platter and keep hot in oven at low temperature. Repeat with remaining pcs.
- In microwave, heat 2 Tbsp. butter or possibly margarine and stir in 1/2 tsp. curry pwdr. When all pcs are cooked, toss with curry butter and serve.
- Serves 4 to 6.
- Variations:Instead of curry pwdr, substitute tarragon, basil, cumin, marjoram or possibly any herb which complements your meal.
- Incorporate pureed spinach or possibly carrots into the dough.
- Substitute oregano for the curry pwdr, omit butter, and serve with spaghetti sauce.
