This is a wonderful alternative to regular potato salad. The recipe uses yogurt instead of mayo which makes it a little easier to go back for seconds. ; ) Ingredients:
1 1/2 pound red or new potatoes, scrubbed & cut into 1/2 dice |
1/2 tsp toasted cumin seeds |
1 tbsp garam masala |
2/3 cup nonfat yogurt |
3 to 4 tbsp fresh lemon juice |
1 tomato, seeded & cut into 1/2 dice |
1/2 small red onion, finely chopped |
3 tbsp coarsely chopped fresh cilantro |
Directions:
1. Place the potatoes in a large sauce pan and cover them with cold water.
2. Bring the potatoes to a boil, then reduce the heat and let them simmer for 8 to 10 minutes or until they are tender yet firm.
3. Drain the potatoes in a colander, rinse with cold water to cool a little, drain and then place them in a large bowl.
4. While the potatoes are boiling, lightly toast the cumin seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3 minutes or until lightly browned and fragrant.
5. Stir the garam masala, lemon juice and yogurt together and then mix in with potatoes. Let the mixture cool completely.
6. Shortly before serving mix in the tomato, onion, salt, pepper and half the cilantro. Season to taste with the lemon juice, masala, and salt.
7. Place the salad on its platter or serving bowl. Sprinkle it with the remaining cilantro and cumin seeds and serve.
