 Mod de preparare / Method of preparation

1. Se fierb cartofii intr-o cratita cu apa sarata pana cand sunt fierti dar totusi fermi. Se iau pe foc si se scurg de apa.

Boil the potatoes in a pan of salted water until just cooked but still firm. Remove from the heat and drain off the water.

2. Intr-o karahi, wok sau tigaie adanca, se incinge rapid uleiul la foc mare, dupa care se da focul la mediu. Se adauga ardeii zdrobiti, semintele de chimion, fenicul, coriandru, putina sare si se prajeste (stir-fry) rapid in jur de 30-40 secunde.

In a karahi, wok or deep pan, heat the oil quickly over a high heat, then turn down the heat to medium. Add the crushed chillies, cumin, fennel and coriander seeds and a little salt and quickly stir-fry for about  30-40 seconds.

3. Se adauga ceapa si se prajeste usurel pana este auriu maro. Dupa, se adauga cartofii noi, ardeii rosii proaspeti si coriandrul proaspat.

Add the onion and fry gently until golden brown. Then add the new potatoes, fresh red chillies and fresh coriander.

4. Se acopera si se prajeste inca 5-7 minute la foc foarte mic. Se servesc calzi.

Cover and cook for 5-7 minutes over a very low heat. Serve hot.
