Finely chopped Leeks - 2 stems

Procedure

1.  This is what leek looks like if you haven't bought one before! Chop off the green part and only cook this recipe with the white part. Wash the ends under water as sometimes it will have some soil.

Add leeks

4. Place cubed potatoes on top and cook till potatoes are done on low heat (close pan with lid to fasten the cooking time) - stir once in a while.

Add potatoes and cook till they go soft

5. Add curry powder, garam masala and salt (to taste) and stir and cook for a few more minutes. I just used an Australian Curry powder (Keens) - use any brand you can get - should be in the spice or Indian food aisle in the supermarket...

Add spices and finish cooking!

6. And that's it!!! Garnish with some chopped coriander on top :D
