Pan fried Potatoes with Broccoli

I love potatoes, in any form, plain boiled, curried, mashed you name it. I think it's the ultimate comfort food.  I made a roast during the weekend and wanted to make a side dish to accompany it. My boys love broccoli so I  threw in some precooked broccoli in during the last minute of pan frying.

Recipe : Pan fried  Potatoes with Broccoli.

4 medium potatoes
1 small broccoli  ( or 1 cup full frozen broccoli florets thawed)
1 small onion  finely chopped
2 cloves garlic finely chopped
6 curry leaves
1/2 - 1 tsp chilli flakes
1/2 tsp cumin seeds
1/2 tsp mustard seeds
Oil
water to boil the potatoes
salt
pepper

Bring a pan full of water to boil, lightly salted. Boil the potatoes till cooked through. ( if using fresh broccoli add the florets to the pan just 2 minutes before draining the water, there is nothing more horrible tasting than overcooked broccoli). Drain off the water completely.

Heat a wok or a large frying pan with a thin layer of oil just enough to cover the bottom,  add the cooked potatoes and fry till the sides start to turn golden, tossing now.

Once the potatoes start to turn golden, remove, and add a little oil if there isn't enough oil left, about 1 tbsp, add mustard seeds, cumin seeds and curry leaves. Once the seeds start to pop add onion and garlic and fry till the onions start to go golden.

 Return the potatoes to the pan along with broccoli add chilli flakes and season with salt. Toss for a few minutes, then switch off the heat. Serve as a side.

Hope You are all having a nice weekend!!
