Keep them in water until we are ready to cook them.", "Heat some oil in a pan. Add cumin seeds, asafetida just when the seeds crackle it won't take too long add the green chilies and curry leaves. Followed by curry leaves add the sesame seeds, and the potatoes. Stir and add sugar, salt, and turmeric powder. Let the potatoes crisp up. You can cover the pan to create some steam inside that way the potatoes will cook thoroughly.", "In few minutes check if the potatoes are cooked well by cutting them with your spatula.
