  1. Peel and cube potatoes.
  2. Microwave with enough water for 8 minutes or till 80% done.You can also do this on the stove top
  3. Drain the water completely and spread out on a kitchen towel.
  4. Heat oil in a wok and put in mustard,cumin seeds,curry leaves
  5. When the mustard splutters, saute onions till light brown.
