Food Blogging, Day 01

[toujours_nigel]

We have bird flu in the city, and I should really stop eating out anyway. So I've decided to cook at least one meal every day (a LOT of one-pot meals coming up) and post a couple of photos and an abbreviated recipe, just to see how long this lasts.

Today I made potatoes with cumin seeds and tomatoes and some garlic powder.

Recipe:

1. Heat oil (I used sunflower) in a pan.
2. Scatter cumin seeds when heated, and saute.
3. Add tomatoes; lower heat, put the lid on.
4. When tomatoes are soft and beginning to be reduced, add potatoes.
5. Saute potatoes.
6. Add water when potatoes are beginning to be fork-tender.
7. Add salt and whatever spices (I put in garlic powder), let cook.
8. Turn off the heat when potatoes are cooked and the sauce has reduced.

Awfully pretty pictures. *wistful* I do envy an organised mind in the kitchen, rather than the 'chuck it in and see how it goes' mentality. End result looks like it turned out great!

Thanks. Though it's less an organised mind and more not being instinctive enough to work without a recipe, however sketchy.
