Ingredients

  • 500g new potatoes
  • 1 tsp himalayan pink salt
  • 1 tsp cayenne pepper
  • ½ tsp hot or sweet smoked paprika
  • 2 tsp honey
  • 350g greek yoghurt
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2 tbsp tamarind chutney
  • 1 handful coriander, finely chopped
  • 1 handful pomegranate seeds

Method

Step 1

Keep the potatoes whole and place in a pan of cold water. Put on a high heat, bring to the boil, then simmer for 15 mins or until cooked through. Drain into a colander, then let them cool a little and steam dry.

Step 2

Meanwhile, combine the salt, cayenne pepper and paprika in a small bowl and set aside. Mix the honey with the greek yoghurt and spread it loosely over a serving platter.

Step 3

Slice the cooked potatoes into 1cm-thick rounds, keeping the skin on. Heat the oil in a non-stick pan on a medium heat and toss in the potatoes. Fry for 5-10 mins, until they crisp up and turn a deep golden-brown.

Step 4

Sprinkle the spice mix over the crispy potatoes then gently place them on top of the sweetened yoghurt on the platter. Top with a drizzle of tamarind chutney, some coriander and pomegranate seeds and serve immediately.
