Ingredients

• 900g Jersey Royals

• Thumb-sized piece of root ginger, peeled.

• 3 garlic cloves, peeled

• 2 large ripe tomatoes

• 4 tbsp vegetable oil

• ¾ tsp cumin seeds

• 1 tsp mustard seeds

• 1 large onion, roughly chopped

• 2/3 tsp turmeric

• 2 tsp ground coriander

• 1 tsp ground cumin

• 1 tsp garam masala

• ½-¾ tsp chilli powder

• Large handful of chopped coriander leaves

• Salt, to taste

Method

1. Boil a large pot of salted water. Add the potatoes and boil until just tender, Allow to cool a little.

2. Quarter one tomato then blend together with the ginger and garlic. Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan, then add the cumin and mustard seeds. When the cumin starts to darken, add the onion. Cook for one minute then add the ginger and garlic mixture, the ground spices and salt.

3. Sauté gently for one to two minutes until the garlic smells cooked but is not burnt.

4. Slice the second tomato into thin wedges and add them to the frying pan. Stir well and cook the mixture for three to four minutes. Tip the potatoes into the pan and cook for three to five minutes allow the flavours to be absorbed. Season to taste and finally stir in the chopped coriander before serving.

Jersey Royal Facts

• Jersey hand plants over 150,000,000 individual Jersey Royal seed potatoes from January to March. If planted in a straight line this is enough Jersey Royals to reach around the circumference of the Earth.

• The isle of Jersey measures just 45 square miles and Jersey Royal potato fields make up approximately one third of the island - equivalent to roughly 5,500 football pitches.

• Unlike other carbohydrates, such as pasta and rice, potatoes are a great source of Vitamin C, especially the skins (100g of Jersey Royal New Potatoes would provide you with 25% of the RDA for vitamin C).

Vitamin C is essential in the diet for maintaining healthy skin, hair, bones, teeth and gums (quantity per 100g is 15mg).
