INSTRUCTIONS
Wash, peel and quarter potatoes. Place them in a bowl with cold water to cover. In 2-3-quart pot, heat oil over medium heat. As it heats, drain potatoes in a colander. When the oil is hot, add asafetida; after it sizzles in about 5 seconds, add cumin seeds; when they sizzle and change color in 5 to 10 seconds, add the red peppers, which will begin to change color in just 2 or 3 seconds. Now add the drained potatoes and turmeric. Fry the potatoes for about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add 2 cups water, tomato sauce, and salt. Bring to a boil. Cover and allow to simmer very gently for about 1½ hours. Serve in a deep dish and permit diners to ladle individual servings in their own small bowls. Flatbreads provide an excellent accompaniment to this dish. Leftovers can be mashed in a blender to reincarnate as a delicious soup.
