Indian style curried potato salad is an Indian twist to a classic potato salad with the addition of aromatic spices, dry fruits, vegetables, and herbs. It is a popular side dish in Indian cuisine that complements curries, grilled chicken or fish. This recipe is a combination of creamy yogurt dressing, cashews, and warm spices such as ginger and curry powder blended together to add another depth of flavor to boiled potatoes. The delicate balance of aromatic and mild spices makes this potato salad a perfect summer meal. It is a healthier version of the traditional potato salad that is usually loaded with mayonnaise and other calorie-rich dressings.

Instructions

1.Scrub the potatoes and slice them into bite-sized pieces. Steam them for about 10-12 minutes or until tender but not mushy. Set aside to cool.
2.Heat the oil in a large skillet and add the cashews. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently until the cashews are golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
3.Add the onion, ginger and garlic to the same skillet and stir fry for a minute or two. Add the curry powder, turmeric, and salt and continue frying for another minute.
4.Add the potatoes and 3 tablespoons of water to the skillet and mix well. Cook stirring frequently until the potatoes are coated with the spices and heated through.
5.Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
6.In a separate small bowl, mix yogurt and cilantro together.
7.Once the potatoes have cooled, add the cilantro-yogurt mixture to the potatoes and cashews and toss everything well together.
