Cut Potatoes into 3/4 inch chunks. Cook potatoes in boiling salted water 6

saucepan, add mustard seeds and onions. Cook 5 minutes until onions are
soft, but not brown. Stir in garlic and gingerroot; cook 1 minute more.
Add cooked potatoes, chile, turmeric, cayenne and cumin. Stir well. Cover
and cook 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are very
tender and coated with spices. Serve hot, garnished with bell pepper
strips.
