Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon safflower oil
  • 1 yellow onion, chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon green curry paste (more or less, to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon fenugreek seeds
  • 3/4 teaspoon yellow curry powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon turmeric
  • 2 russet potatoes (baked or steamed)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 4 -5 large flour tortillas

Method

  • Heat the oil in a skillet.
  • Add the onion, cover, and cook until softened, about 7 minutes.
  • Stir in the green curry paste, mustard seeds, fenugreek seeds, curry powder and turmeric.
  • Cook 5 minutes longer.
  • Coarsely chop or mash the potatoes and add them to the onion mixture along with the salt. Stir to combine.
  • Cook until hot and thoroughly mixed, leaving some texture.
  • Cut the large flour tortillas in half.
  • Fold them in your hands to make a cone (the smallest end should be closed so the filling doesn't fall out).
  • Fill the tortilla halves with potato mixture, being sure not to over-stuff. Flatten to make hand-held pockets.
  • Place them, two at a time, in a lightly oiled non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
  • Cook until lightly browned on both sides, turning once.
  • Transfer to a cooling rack lined with paper towels.
  • Serve with chutney of choice (we use store-bought mint or coriander chutney).
