3 large boiled potatoes (any kind),
peeled and diced (4 cups [600 g])
1 teaspoon coarse white salt
1–2 green Thai, serrano, or cayenne
chiles, stems removed, sliced thin
- Soak the split gram in boiled water
while you prep the remaining
ingredients. - In a deep, heavy pan, heat the oil over
medium-high heat. - Add the turmeric, mustard, curry
leaves, and drained split gram. Be
careful, the seeds tend to pop and the
soaked lentils might splash oil, so you
may need a lid. Cook for 30 seconds,
stirring to prevent sticking.
