TRINI CURRY ALOO 🇹🇹 / CURRY POTATO - trini style homecooking (#6)

Over high heat, in a heavy pot, add vegetable oil.

(Optional but recommended) add 1 tsp mustard seeds and fry till they start popping and turn dark brown.

Add onions & garlic and sauté till onions are translucent.

Add pimento peppers and/or hot pepper.

Add green seasoning.

Add salt to season the seasonings.

Add saffron powder for color.

Add curry powder & toast/fry for about 1-2 minutes (do NOT burn curry). If starting to burn or stick at the bottom, add a little water.

Add a little HOT water. It MUST be HOT so it does not stop the cooking process!

Keep stirring and cook until you see the curry separating from the oil & it starts to thicken.

Then add potatoes and stir for curry to coat potatoes.

Add freshly chopped cilantro / shadow beni / bandanya leaves.

Add HOT water (just enough to cover potatoes) & turn heat down to medium, medium-low.

Let simmer/cook for 20-30 mins (cover pot or can leave uncovered).

After 20-30 mins (when it is almost finished cooking) add ground geera to give extra flavor & stir.

It is finished when most of the liquid has dried down and the potatoes have softened.
