Three takes on common ingredients - part 3
(for the ingredient list, see part 1)

Method 3: Precooked vegetables

This method has a much shorter stove time, which is achieved by baking the potatoes for an hour at 350F. The potatoes are then peeled and cut into 3/4 inch dice.

The ghee is heated over medium heat, and the green chiles, cumin seeds, and ginger root are fried until the cumin seeds darken.

The potatoes, turmeric, and coriander are added, and the potatoes are cooked until slightly browned.

The salt and cilantro are stirred in before serving.

So which one tastes better?

The first method yields much drier potatoes than the other two. The main difference between the second and the third method is that the second one leaves some thoroughly mashed potato, which would probably be helpful with rice. I can't really rank them for taste; they're very similar, but I'd use them to fill different roles.
