Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly, then cut them into chunky wedges, leaving the skin on for added texture and flavor.
-
Sauté the Potatoes: In a large non-stick frying pan or oven tray, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the potato wedges and sauté them until they begin to brown, which should take about five minutes.
-
Season the Potatoes: Add salt, pepper, and garam masala to the potatoes, tossing them gently to ensure they are well-coated with the spices.
-
Add Saffron Water: Sprinkle in the chilli flakes and pour the saffron-infused boiling water over the potatoes.
-
Simmer: Increase the heat to bring the mixture to a rapid simmer, cooking for about six to seven minutes.
-
Gentle Cooking: Lower the heat and allow the potatoes to cook gently for an additional 15 minutes, or until they are soft and most of the water has evaporated, creating a flavorful sauce.
