Indian Potato Chutney


Title: Indian Potato Chutney
Categories: Sauces, Vegetables
Yield: 6 servings

1 lb Waxy variety potatoes
4 Green chili peppers
1/2 ts Salt
Pepper
1 ts Cumin seed
1 Lemon; seeded and juiced
1/2 c Plain lowfat yogurt

A chutney (chatni) is a hot spicy relish that often contains fruit but
doesn't have to. One local restaurant serves minced chile peppers with
yogurt: it too is a chutney. Vegetables, like this one, make an unusual
relish for a vegetable or meat curry dish.

1. Cook the unpeeled potatoes in salted water. Drain, peel, and dice.
Finely dice the chilies, and mix the two together in a sering dish. Season,
sprinkle on cumin seeds (warmed, optional). Pour on the lemon juice. Set
aside for 10 minutes. Carefully stir in the yogurt. Chill.

2. Serve chilled with any curry dish.

Try new potatoes, red potatoes, fingerlings, yukon golds, etc.
