• some fresh garllc, not smashed by diced carefully into 2mm pieces (at least 1 clove per potato -- I add 2, about half a cluster, but I like garlic)
• some fresh ginger, again finely diced into 1mm cubes, about a teaspoon
• a splash of turmeric, a companion (harmonizer) for garlic and ginger, to boost the color if for no other reason, and the other reasons are aplenty!
• if you want ... warm up the oil first, with a few red chili peppers, adding cumin seeds, cayenne, etc. as well, to remineralize the oil and raise its energy level to that of a "masala"
• a fistful of freshly chopped parsley
• ½ cup of green peas
• boil with raw (agricultural) sea salt, like SEA-90.
arghhh!
