For Boiling Potatoes
- 500 grams potatoes
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Spices and flavoring
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt

For tempering
- 5 teaspoon peanut oil
- 1/4 teaspoon mustard seeds
- 3 sprigs curry leaves
Instructions
- Take half a liter of water and add in the baking soda and salt. Add in the half cut potatoes to the cooker. I boil my potatoes in a pressure cooker for 2 whistles and wait for the pressure to settle naturally.
- Remove the skin of the potatoes and cut in big chunks. Add the chunks to a bowl. Add in freshly ground black pepper, salt and crushed whole garlic with the skin on. Toss to coat.
- Heat oil in a pan until hot. Add in the mustard seeds and curry leaves. Let the mustard seeds splutter.
- Add in the potatoes and toss on medium flame for about 10-12 minutes.
- Serve hot with rice, rasam or sambar.
