Method
- To make the potato curry, heat the oil in a pan and add the mustard seeds with the asafoetida. When they begin to pop, add the garlic, ginger and chilli and cook for 1 min. Stir in the tomatoes, then cover and cook for 10 mins until soft.
- Add all the spices and mix well and cook for another min before adding the chopped potatoes. Pour in 400ml water and leave to simmer for 10-15 mins, stirring occasionally, until the gravy thickens slightly. Finish with some fresh coriander on top.
- To make the puri dough, put the flour in a bowl with salt, turmeric and crushed cumin and slowly add just enough water to form a dough. It should be soft rather than wet and tight. Cover with clingfilm and leave to rest for 10 mins.
- Divide the dough into 20 small balls and roll each portion into a 10cm (4in) circle.
- Heat the oil in a deep-fryer or wide, heavy pan and fry the puris one at a time for 1 min on each side until golden brown. Serve with the potato curry.
