Process
- Prep:
- Cube the potato
- Finely chop the onion, bell pepper
- Roughly chop the garlic
- Freeze then grate the tomato (don’t remove the center)
- Grind the saffron then bloom in a small amount of hot water
- Season the egg with salt and pepper, whisk together
- Heat the oil over low/medium
- Add the onion and bell pepper, cook 4 minutes until lightly sauteed
- Add the garlic, cook 1 minute
- Add the cumin and grated tomato, simmer 3-4 minutes until the tomato has thickened
- Add the potatoes, coriander, saffron, salt, pepper
- Add the water and msg, just enough to barely cover the ingredients
- Raise to high heat and bring to a boil; then cover and reduce to low
- Simmer for 15 minutes until the potato is done
- Slowly add in the whisked eggs while mixing continuously
- Need to be very careful here or the egg will scramble
- Re-cover, remove from heat, let sit for 2-3 minutes before serving.
