This spiced fennel potatoes recipe is another one from a book called Easy Indian in Minutes that I've had for quite a number of years now.
There's loads of lovely looking dishes in it - starters, mains, sides and desserts. I've made a couple over the years and this is the first time I've made this potato side dish.
I love potatoes in an Indian curry and also the flavour from fennel seeds. The chilli and fennel seeds give this potato side dish a lovely touch of heat and crunch.
Tips
- Alternative suggestion - replace the fennel seeds with a handful of fresh fenugreek leaves.
- This spiced fennel potatoes recipe can easily be adapted if you’re cooking for less or more people.
