• 1. Boil the potatoes in lightly salted water to cover until crisp-tender, about 10 minutes. Drain, let cook, then prick each potato all over with a fork. (So the spices penetrate the inside.) Meanwhile, in a blender, blend together the yogurt and water until smooth.2. Heat the oil in a large wok over medium-high heat until it reaches 325°F to 350°F on a frying thermometer, or until a small piece of potato dropped into the hot oil rises to the top in 15 to 20 seconds. Add the potatoes to the hot oil, adding as many as the wok can hold at one time without crowding, and fry, turning them carefully with a slotted spatula, until they are golden 2 to 3 minutes. Drain on paper towel.3. Remove all but 2 tablespoons oil from the wok and discard or reserve for another use. Heat the oil in a large nonstick wok or saucepan over medium-high heat and add the cumin seed, cardamom pods, cinnamon, and cloves they should sizzle upon contact with the hot oil.

Transfer to a serving dish, sprinkle the garam masala on top, and serve.From "1,000 Indian Recipes." Copyright 2002 by Neelam Batra. Used with permission of the publisher, Wiley Publishing, Inc.

CRISPY FRIED OKRA IN YOGURT SAUCE

Steps:

• 1. Prepare the ginger-garlic paste. Prepare the okra: cut off a think slice of the stem end of each okra and discard, then cut the okra into 1/3-inch slices. (Cut off and discard the tips only if they look too brown.)2. Heat the oil in a wok until it registers 350°F to 375°F on a frying thermometer or a small piece of okra dropped into the hot oil bubbles and rises to the top immediately. Add the okra (in 2 batches, if needed) and fry until crisp and lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and mix well with the ginger-garlic paste.3. Discard all except 1 tablespoon oil from the wok (use this oil for other cooking, if you like.) Heat the oil and add the cumin, turmeric, and cayenne pepper. Mix in the yogurt-cornstarch mixture, a little at a time, stirring constantly to prevent it from curdling. Cook, stirring, until most of the yogurt evaporates and the sauce becomes thick, 3 to 5 minutes.4. Mix in the fried okra and salt, and cook about 5 minutes, until the flavors are blended. Transfer to a serving dish, top with the garam masala, and serve.VARIATION: A similar curry can be made using 1 cup canned tomato sauce and 1/2 cup coconut milk instead of the yogurt.From "1,000 Indian Recipes."
