Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 220C/200 Fan/425F
  • Parboil your prepared potato chunks in a pan of boiling water for 5-8 minutes. Drain in a colander and leave to steam for a minute or two to dry.
  • Shake your potatoes in the colander to roughen up their edges.
  • Pour 1 tbsp of the vegetable oil into a baking tray and put it into the hot oven for 5 minutes until hot.
  • Add your potatoes to the hot oil, shake to coat and sprinkle with a little salt.
  • Roast in the hot oven for 30-45 mins, turning once, until brown and crisp.
  • (Optional) Drain on a wire rack over a tea towel to remove excess oil and allow them to crisp up even more.
  • Fry the onion very gently in the remaining vegetable oil with the lid on for about 10 - 15 minutes until soft and beginning to brown. 
  • Add the garlic and ginger and sizzle it all for a further minute.
  • Add the dry spices and fry for 10 seconds until aromatic. 
  • Add the water, stock cube, a pinch of salt and a good grinding of black pepper. Simmer it all together gently for about 10 minutes until reduced to a thick, glossy sauce.
  • Stir in the prepared potatoes, heat through gently until piping hot and serve.
