Healthy Hints
Not bad – just over 150 kcal per serving. Remember, though, that you may also be eating some chapati and maybe even some rice and dhal, so it all mounts up. Check out the pop up box for calories in the Food Facts below to see how many calories you should be taking in a day. One meal should provide a quarter to a third of your daily calories.
Cooking Guide
1. Heat oil in a small saucepan over moderate heat.
2. Add the cumin seeds, onions, garlic, ginger and sauté until golden brown.

5. Add diced potatoes and ½ glass of water.
6. Lower heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes until potatoes are tender.
7. Garnish with coriander.
