There are always loads of recipes I'd like to try but lose them before I do. This is where I can record recipes I find interesting and keep notes on my experiments with them.

I have a system that I've adopted for working through recipes:

1 - New recipes are saved to the Experimental Mouffette and is labeled : Untested
2 - As I'm working out the changes I'd like to make (if any) it is labeled : Testing
3 - Once I think I've got the correct formula it is labeled : Test 1
4 - IF I am able to reproduce the effect a second time it is labeled : Test 2 - if I am not able to reproduce the effect, it remains Test 1
5 - The same process as step 4 is used to graduate it to Test 3
6 - Once I have been able to reproduce the effect successfully 3 times, it graduates to my main blog, La Mouffette Gourmande

Potato Curry - PUBLISHED


1 - I made this dish to try and stop the hole in the legs of my 4 ravening WOOFers! OMG they eat so much!!! It was instantly loved, served with Creamy French Lentil Dal and Savory Rice.
2 - It is a very tasty dish. I would like to figure out how to prevent the potato from sticking to the pan so much. Research is required. There must be a way.

3 Tbsp. peanut oil (or any cooking oil)
1 tsp cumin seeds
1 tsp mustard seeds
1 pinch asaphoetida
1 medium onion, sliced
3 potatoes (24oz), cubed (peeled or unpeeled)
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 inch ginger root, grated
½ tsp turmeric powder
¾ tsp red curry powder (Kashmiri blend is good)
1 tsp cumin powder
1 tsp coriander powder 
1 tsp garam masala
1 + ½ tsp Salt 
¼ cup cilantro, chopped 
  1. Heat oil in a heavy bottom wide shallow pan, add cumin seeds and mustard seeds.
  2. Once the seeds pop, add the asaphoetida, garlic and onions along with 1 tsp salt.
  3. Sauté on medium heat until the onions start to soften.
  4. Add the potatoes to the pan and cook until fork tender. Add a few Tbsps. of water when it starts to stick.
  5. Add all dry spices and salt and gently toss until all the potatoes are evenly coated with the spices. 
  6. Cook for 2-4 minutes more, covered, to allow the spices to flavor the potato.
  7. Serve immediate with chopped cilantro sprinkled on top.
