250g potatoes boiled, peeled and cut into cubes(1-inch roughly)
1 large onions sliced fine
4 or 5 curry leaves
2 cardamom pods slightly bruised
1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder

1/2 teaspoon cumin powder
1/2 teaspoon red chilli flecks

1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds
6 tablespoons of oil
Method
How to parboil the potatoes.
Place the potatoes(with skin)in a pan, pour water just enough to cover the potatoes.
Boil the potatoes until they are tender. you can check if they are done by inserting a knife through the potatoes if the knife goes through smoothly, the potatoes are done.
Place the potatoes under running water and peel off the skin.
Since they are already boiled and soft, the potatoes will break into smaller cubes as you mix them with the spices, so cut them into larger cubes and set aside.
How to cook the devil potatoes.
Place a cooking pan over medium heat and pour in the oil, add curry leaves(5 leaves), cardamom pods(2), Onions and sauté.
Once the onion slices turn golden, add turmeric powder(1/2 tsp), cumin(1/2 tsp), add red chilli flecks(1/2 tsp), red chilli powder(1/2 tsp), green chillies(2) and finally, mustard seeds.
reduce heat and continue cooking the ingredients in the pan while mixing to avoid any of the spices from burning for 2 minutes.
Add the cooked potatoes to the spices, season with salt and combine potatoes with the tempered ingredients. pour in a tablespoon of oil if you need the mixing to go smoothly.
If you need a bit of gravy, pour in 1/4 of thick coconut milk, cover and simmer for further 5 minutes over low heat and serve with rice and curry.
