Indian-Spiced Roasted Potatoes

June 4, 2012 by Faith 21 Comments

Indian-Spiced Roasted Potatoes

One of our favorite summer meals is tandoori chicken cooked on a charcoal grill. Using a charcoal grill takes quite a bit more work than a gas grill, but the smoky flavor is completely worth it. (Plus, Mike is in charge of the grilling so it doesn’t matter to me…and he enjoys it. :) )

Spices

Instead of serving regular potato salad on the side, these roasted potatoes (which are delicious served hot, warm, or at room temperature) make the perfect side dish for an Indian-themed barbeque with tandoori chicken. Serve it with Salad Shirazi and maybe a tangy yogurt sauce and you’re all set.

Indian-Spiced Roasted Potatoes
Prep time:  10 mins
Cook time:  40 mins
Total time:  50 mins
Yield: 6 to 8 servings
 
Ingredients
  • 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (more or less to taste)
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 2 lbs (910 g) potatoes (any variety you like; I used a mix), washed and cubed
  • 2 medium onions, chopped
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 425F.
  2. Lightly crush the mustard seeds, cumin seeds, and red pepper flakes using a mortar and pestle.
  3. Toss together the lightly crushed spices, salt, black pepper, turmeric, potato, onion, and olive oil in a large bowl, then spread it out onto a half sheet pan.
  4. Bake until the potatoes are slightly crispy on the outside and tender inside, and the onion is slightly caramelized, about 40 minutes, tossing the mixture every 15 minutes or so.
  5. Serve hot, warm, or at room temperature.

    I love the golden hue that the turmeric and spices give the potatoes! A perfect match for the chicken Faith :D

    I love those different colored potatoes and I could see this with tandoori chicken or just all alone. We don’t cook with charcoal. Could I make the tandoori chicken on regular grill (recipe?)

      Angela, Yup, you could also use a regular grill (we just love the smoky flavor of the charcoal grill — since we don’t have a tandoor oven, it’s the closest way to simulate the flavor :) ). I was thinking of writing up my recipe next time I make tandoori chicken, but I haven’t done it yet. Here’s the method and ingredients I use, but the measurements are just approximates since I didn’t actually write it up yet: marinade 2-3 lbs bone-in chicken for 1 or 2 days in the following mixture before grilling: about 1 cup yogurt, about 4 TB fresh lemon juice, about 4 TB vegetable oil, fresh grated garlic (4-6 cloves), fresh grated ginger (1-2″ piece), garam masala spice mix (about 2 TB), ground cumin (about 2 tsp), ground coriander (about 2 tsp), sweet and hot ground paprika (about 1 tsp each), turmeric (for color) (about 1/2 tsp), a touch of tomato paste (optional; for color) (about 1-2 TB), and salt (about 1 1/2 tsp). It’s amazing. If you give it a try, let me know how you like it! :)

    Looks delicious, Faith. I have a secret guilty wish for a tandoor oven… the idea of slamming food on the walls of an oven appeals to the child in me and I love the flavor. Bet you have the best barbeques with dishes like this!

      Deana, That is a secret guilty wish of mine as well! But I guess it might be a good thing that I don’t have a tandoor oven since I I’d be making naan probably on a daily basis, lol!

Pelmeni are Russian meat dumplings frequently serv Pelmeni are Russian meat dumplings frequently served with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkling of fresh dill. You can boil or fry them, they freeze like a dream (and they cook directly from frozen!), and they make a big batch so you’ll have a freezer stash of easy dinners for busy nights. But fair warning, these are definitely a labor of love. I made them last spring on a Zoom call with ma chérie Evelyne of @cultureatz that involved ridiculous amounts of laughter, and the shenanigans of us hand making about 100 dumplings each! I’m definitely a bad blogger for not sharing the recipe until now lol. But it’s (finally!) up and you can check it out on @anediblemosaic 🥰 —> https://www.anediblemosaic.com/pelmeni-recipe-russian-dumplings/ #dumplings #dumplingsfordays #russianfood #pelmeni #foodstyling #foodstylist #foodphotography #photography #moodygrams #lightandshadow
The other day Dan and I were at an antique store a The other day Dan and I were at an antique store and we happened to find one of the vendors who was putting out #vintage #valentinesday cards she had found in one of her storage units. 💌 These are from the 1930s/1940s! She was a third generation antique dealer and she said she still has several full rooms to sort through! (I love the treasure hunt of that, it’s like exploring in your grandparents’ attic.) Anyway, I had to buy a couple cards because they’re completely charming. #happyvalentinesday, lovelies. 🥰 #valentines #romantic #flatlay #valentinesmood #vintageprops #propstyling #propstylist #photography
#ad If you’re looking for a romantic meal to mak #ad If you’re looking for a romantic meal to make for your sweetheart for Valentine’s Day this weekend, you’ve come to the right place! This meal is easy, fast (no one will guess it whips up in less than 15 minutes!), and impressive. And soooo good. 🥰
 
What’s on the menu? Pan seared chicken in a savory cream sauce. Steamed green beans. And Fresh Blends Ready to Cook Idaho Potatoes!
 
Let’s talk sides first. Steamed green beans are easy, and they round out the meal well. Or you could go with broccoli if you want.
 
The real star of the side dish show are these flavorful @eagleeyeproduce potatoes! They’re family grown in Idaho. Fresh-cut, never cooked, never frozen, with no preservatives. And they cook up easily with a one-step cooking process (just 8 minutes in the microwave, or you can do them on the stovetop to get them crispy). Check out their website to find their store locator to see where they’re available near you --> https://eagleeyeproduce.com/store-locator/
 
And now the chicken! Inspired by the famous “Marry Me Chicken”, this recipe checks all the right boxes and has all the bells and whistles. Chicken cutlets cook up quick on the stovetop, and then a luscious cream sauce flavored with garlic, fresh herbs, and sundried tomatoes cooks in the same skillet. Take a look at the recipe in the comments below.
 
Who says a beautiful, romantic meal has to be complicated, right? ❤️

This is the 5th year in a row that Julie from @thelittlekitchn has organized the Cookies for Kid's Cancer Valentine's Event to raise money and awareness for childhood cancer, and I'm honored to be part of it.

Cancer is the top cause of death of children by disease in the U.S. There are 40,000 U.S. children actively battling cancer right now. And the National Cancer Institute’s budget for childhood cancer is less than 4%.⁣
