Rafi's Spiced Mashed Potatoes Recipe

Serves: 4 Ready in: 30 minutes

Introduction

This mash is great to serve alongside anything, especially sausages! We originally wrote this recipe as a filling for the vada pavs, but it turned out so well, that we'd happily eat it on its own.

Ingredients

 Serves 4 
2 tbsp oil
10 fresh curry leaves (sliced)
1 tsp Mustard Seeds
1/2 tsp Turmeric
1-inch ginger (peeled and grated)
2 garlic cloves (finely chopped)
2 green chillies (or to taste)
1/4 tsp Asafoetida
1/2 tsp Chaat Masala
750g plain mashed potato
Coriander to garnish
Salt to taste 

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil over medium heat, add mustard seeds and fry until they crackle.
  2. Add curry leaves, ginger, garlic and chillies, frying for 10-20 seconds.
  3. Take off the heat, add powdered spices and then tip spices and oil on top of the mashed potato.
  4. Stir through with the fresh coriander and salt to taste.

The Rafi's Spicebox Cookbook

In 2016, we released the Rafi’s Spicebox Cookbook with recipes all based on Indian flavours and concepts. Some of them have evolved from Rafi’s original recipes and others from our team's travel to India and beyond. This book was written to inspire you to cook the best food that you can. If we can encourage you to enjoy the whole process of cooking these dishes and sharing them with family or friends, our work is done. We’re very proud of these dishes, and hope to hear what you’ve done with them in your own kitchen!
