Potato Salad Indian Style Recipe


Potato Salad Indian Style Recipe
This is a wonderful alternative to regular potato salad. The recipe uses yogurt instead of mayo which makes it a little easier to go back for seconds. ; )

Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 pound red or new potatoes, scrubbed & cut into 1/2" dice
  • 1/2 tsp toasted cumin seeds

  • 3 to 4 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tomato, seeded & cut into 1/2" dice

Directions
  1. Place the potatoes in a large sauce pan and cover them with cold water.
  2. Bring the potatoes to a boil, then reduce the heat and let them simmer for 8 to 10 minutes or until they are tender yet firm.
  3. Drain the potatoes in a colander, rinse with cold water to cool a little, drain and then place them in a large bowl.
  4. While the potatoes are boiling, lightly toast the cumin seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3 minutes or until lightly browned and fragrant.

This is a nice twist to a potato salad. I like the fact that it doesn't contain mayo, but yogurt instead. Lots of great flavors in it too. We love cilantro, so this would be a big hit with my husband who doesn't like traditional mayo based potato salad.


Nice change from the mayo.


What is garama masala? I just adore Indian food. If you tell me what it is maybe I can find it on the internet as I know I'll never find it in my PA country town. Phyllis


This sounds great with yoghurt in the place of mayo. The cilantro will work really well. Trying it soon.
