Makes 4 servings
1 pound potatoes
1-1/2 ounces ginger root, peeled and chopped
3 cloves garlic
3 tablespoons water
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon fennel seed
Boil the potatoes in their jackets. Drain and allow to completely cool. (Can be done the night before.) Peel and cut into 1-inch cubes. Put the ginger, garlic, turmeric, water, salt, and cayenne into a blender or food processor. Blend until it becomes a paste. Heat the oil in a large non-stick or cast-iron pan over a medium flame. When it is hot, add the fennel seeds. Let them fry for a few seconds. Now put in the spice paste. (Careful — it will spatter and spit.) Stir and fry for 2 minutes. Add the potato cubes. Fry, stirring continuously, over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes or until potatoes have a golden-brown crust
