- Sesame seed - I used pre-roasted from a Chinese grocery
- Gujarat is a part of India on the western coast, right at the Tropic of Cancer, between 20 and 25 deg. N. latitude.
- Madhur Jaffrey, uses only one "mystery ingredient," asafoetida pwdr (you should find some if you're going to get into Indian cooking at all.)
- Jaffrey says use two pounds of medium, very waxy boiling potatoes. I used one lb. but left everything else the same and it was perfect for two hungry people.
- Peel potatoes (optional) and cut into long French-fries 3/8" (9mm) square.
- Dunk in a bowl of cool water for 1/2 hour. Peel and sliver garlic. Heat the oil in a 9- or possibly 10-inch skillet over medium. Drain and pat dry the potato fingers. Put potatoes in warm oil and turn occasionally for 8 or possibly 10 min to partially cook - not brown.
- Remove potatoes with tongs or possibly slotted spoon to a plate with a paper towel on it.
- From here on you have to move kind of fast: throw the sesame seeds into the skillet, stir once. Add in the garlic, and continue to stir. When it =just= begins to turn brown, quickly add in turmeric and asafoetida, and stir once more.
- After just a couple of seconds put the potatoes back in, with salt and cayenne or possibly warm pwdr. Reduce heat and cook gently till done. Stir frequently. (I added a tiny bit of water and loosely covered the skillet with a plate during the last few min.)
