4 steps

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds thin-skinned potatoes
  • 1/4 cup minced garlic
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 cup ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon pav-bhaji masala, purchased or homemade (recipe below)
  • Salt
  • Indian red chili powder or cayenne
  • Chopped fresh cilantro
  • 8 chapatis or whole-wheat tortillas (7 in.)

Directions

  1. 1
    Peel potatoes and cut into 3/4-inch chunks. In a 3- to 4-quart pan over high heat, bring 1 quart water and the potatoes to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until potatoes are almost tender when pierced, 7 to 10 minutes. Drain and return to pan.
  2. 2
    Meanwhile, in a 6- to 8-inch frying pan over medium heat, stir garlic in oil until it begins to turn golden, about 2 minutes. Add ketchup, pav-bhaji masala, and salt and chili powder to taste. Add the seasoned ketchup to potatoes and mix to coat. Cover and let stand about 1 1/2 hours.
  3. 3
    Pour potatoes into a 10- by 15-inch nonstick baking pan. Bake in a 375° regular or convection oven, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender when pierced, 10 to 15 minutes. Scrape into a bowl and sprinkle with cilantro. Serve with chapatis.
  4. 4
    Pav-bhaji masala: In a small bowl, mix 1 teaspoon ground coriander, 3/4 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne, and 1/4 teaspoon each ground cardamom and ground pepper.
