Quick spicy potato sambal

An easy peasy vegetarian dish for those busy work days - its quickly become a house favorite. 


Spicy potato sambal

Ingredients:
2 potatoes - cubed
1 onion - sliced thinly
1 packet Maggi sambal tumis paste (i recommend this paste as its more savory/not sweetened like the other brands; otherwise using a home blend of sambal paste is fine if you have more time)
Curry leaves (optional)
Water 
Salt
Oil
1 tsp Tamarind paste

Method:
1. Heat oil in wok and saute onions & curry leaves till golden & fragrant. 
2. Add in potatoes and some water, salt to taste. Cook till potatoes are half done. 
3. Add in maggi sambal tumis paste and tamarind. If needed, a little more water (no more than half cup) and cook covered till potatoes get soft. 
4. Uncover and fry on high flame - it should be a fairly dry dish, with the oil from sambal appearing. 
5. Enjoy with white rice, iddiyappam or roti.
