Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Even for meat-eaters, cooking vegetables with Indian spices is one of the tastiest ways of preparing them.

100g ghee or vegetable oil
1 large onion, peeled and chopped
1/2tsp cumin seeds
2tsp black mustard seeds
1tsp fenugreek seeds
1/2tsp ground turmeric
1tsp garam masala
A good pinch of curry leaves
2 medium-sized red chillies, finely chopped
6 medium-sized baking potatoes, peeled and cut into rough 2-3cm chunks
1tbsp lemon juice
2tbsp chopped coriander
Salt
Melt the ghee in a heavy-bottomed pan and gently cook the onion with the spices and chilli on a low heat with the lid on, stirring occasionally for 3-4 minutes without colouring. Add the potatoes and lemon juice, cover with hot water, add about a teaspoon of salt and simmer for about 10 minutes with the lid on, then remove the lid and continue to simmer for another 5 minutes, stirring every so often until the potatoes are just cooked. Stir in the coriander and simmer for a few more minutes, or until the liquid has evaporated.
