Method
- Boil a large pan of salted water. Add the potatoes and cook until just tender – 12-15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, toast all the seeds in a hot dry frying pan for 2 minutes until fragrant. Crush them in a pestle and mortar, then set aside.
- Drain the potatoes and steam dry in the colander for a minute.
- Heat the grill to high. Put the potatoes on a baking tray. Brush with oil and grill until crispy and browned – 5-7 minutes. Turn the potatoes over and repeat to
crisp and colour the other side. - Put the crushed spices in a large bowl with the melted butter, spring onions, coriander and chillies.
- Remove the potatoes from the grill and divide each one in half, using a metal spoon so you create rough edges. Put the potatoes straight into the spice bowl and toss until well combined.
- Add the sea salt, lime juice and kebab masala, adjusting them to taste, then serve.
