Hello, my fellow foodies!
I was watching "Spice Goddess" on the Food Network while at the gym the other day, and Bal Arneson (the chef) was making Indian Potato Salad. I was seriously salivating while I was huffing and puffing through my workout, but the thought that I would have some room to "reward" myself afterwards with some exotic, spicy Indian potato salad was good motivation.
Here is the original recipe, courtesy of Food Network Canada.
My modifications:
· Omitted brown mustard seeds
· Omitted dried curry leaves (instead, just gave it a few sprinkles of curry powder)
· Added 1/2 tsp of salt
· Added 1/2 cup of whipped salad dressing (Miracle Whip)
· Used cardamom instead of cardamom seeds (not sure if they're the same thing)
· Used cumin instead of cumin seeds (again, not sure if they're the same thing)
My thoughts:
I didn't make this until about a week after I'd watched the segment on Food Network because we didn't have red potatoes. I finally found the time to pick some up this week and give this recipe a try.
This was super delish, and fairly quick and easy to make.. two thumbs up! This recipe gets bonus points because it allows you to make some pretty significant changes without compromising the turn-out.
In hindsight, I think the addition of chopped green onions just prior to serving as well as bacon bits would have really given this a nice kick. Of course, adding bacon bits makes this less Indian-style. Anyway, this was such a hit last night that I plan on making this again tonight!
I would love to hear how yours turned out. Happy cooking :)
