INSTRUCTIONS
Boil potatoes in their jackets. Peel them and mash coarsely with a
fork or hand masher.
Heat the oil in a 10-12 inch skillet over medium heat. When hot, first
put in it the asafetida; after it has sizzled for a few seconds, add the
cumin and mustard seeds; then in 10 seconds or so, the red pepper(s). Use 1
for mildly hot, 3 for very hot. When pepper changes color (1 to 5 seconds),
put in the chopped onions and turmeric. After the onions have cooked 3 to 5
minutes and turned brown at the edges, put in the mashed potatoes, salt,
garam masala and lemon juice. Fry, stirring and mixing, for 5 to 7 minutes.
To serve: Place in a warm dish and serve with Indian bread or remove
whole red pepper and serve as an appetizer on top of Melba rounds.

Note 1: the Indian name of this dish is Pyazwale Sookhe Aloo. Note 2: use a
salt-substitute instead of salt Note 3: I've made this without the
asafetida because I don't know where
