Potato curry with black cumin seed

Potato curry with black cumin seed - Preparation time 10 to 15 mins
I used to make this dry curry when i prepare variety rice. This is a simple and easy potato curry. One day i bought black jeera/ onion seed/ karum jeeragam this looks like black sesame seed . I tried it with potato and red chili powder it came out well so i used to prepare that curry. Last week i tried the same curry with crushed pepper (instead of red chili) as i suffered from cold and want to take something simple also spicy.
It was good and tasty along with a hot tomato rasam and fried papad. The food was filling, spicy  and also light.

Ingredients:-
Potato - 2 (medium sized) remove the skin and chop to small cubes.
Sesame oil - 1 tbsp
Crushed pepper - 1 tsp (adjust according to your taste)
Salt - as required
Water - to sprinkle and cook potato
Onion seed/ karun jeeragam/ black cumin - 1 tsp
Turmeric powder - 1/4 tsp

Preparation method:-
In a kadai add oil, black cumin seed. When it is roasted add the chopped potato and sortae well in the oil so all the potatoes are coated with oil.
Now add turmeric powder, salt and sprinkle little water. Cover the kadai with lid and cook in slow flame. Every few mins remove the lid and stir the potato so it won't stick in the kadai. If required you can add oil.
When the potato got cooked add the pepper powder and mix well. Cover and cook for few mins so the potato absorbs the taste and flavour of the pepper.
Hardly this will take 10 to 15 mins to cook this dish.
