Notes about this recipe

    It had a great flavor but lots of issues. First it took much longer than described in the recipe, and I wasn't planning to spend that long on a weeknight (almost 2 hours, beginning to end). It was also quite dry. Browning cubes of cubes of raw potatoes in a pan does NOT work. Next time I would do this step in the oven after rinsing the diced potatoes to get rid of the starch, which is my usual procedure. The onions could have used some extra cooking. Lastly, I didn't love the fact that the chillies were only added as a garnish, sprinkled on top. Good flavors, but would need a lot of tweaks to work as a recipe. https://forums.egullet.org/topic/162630-cooking-with-nik-sharmas-the-flavor-equation/?do=findComment&comment=2419358

    I really liked this. Relatively easy week-night dinner served over white rice. One red chili was the perfect amount of heat for me.
