Ingredients:

36 oz baby/regular potatoes
3-4 tbsp coconut oil
1/2 tsp black mustard seeds
3-4 springs of fresh curry leaves
2-3 slit green chiles
1/2 to 3/4 tsp tsp of Asafoetida powder

Instructions:

Clean and boil the baby potatoes till tender. Peel them one by one and keep them aside.

Heat the oil in a pan. add the mustard seeds. Wait for it to splutter and add the curry leaves, green chiles and asafoetida. Fry for a couple of second and add the peeled baby potatoes. Toss for everything to coat well and add 1 cup of water. Add salt for taste and let it simmer for 10 to 15 minutes. Mash a couple potatoes so that the broth thickens a little bit. You can prick each one of the potatoes for it to absorb all the flavors but i like the bland potatoes in a spicy broth better. Serve hot with rice.
