Baby Potatoes in Chunky Coriander Sauce

The husband is out of town and its just me and lil pumpkin at home so i decided to experiment a bit with my cooking. I read a lot of recipes across the internet for  potatoes with herbs and i really wanted to try them out. So i decided to make something that would suit my tastes and still be yummy enough for the kiddo to eat.




Ingredients

10 baby potatoes, boiled and peeled
Coriander/ parsley - 1 cup chopped roughly
4 -5 cloves of garlic
1 green chili
6-7 almonds/cashews/walnuts, whatever is at hand
Dried oregano - 1 tsp
Olive oil 2 tbsp
Processed cheese - 2 cubes

Method

Peel and cut the baby potatoes in half. In a pan, add 1 tbsp of olive oil and add the potatoes. Keep stirring to coat the potatoes with oil. In a blender combine the coriander, nuts, garlic chilli and the remaining olive oil and blend till the mixture turns 'not so chunky but not smooth'. I used a few almonds and a couple of cashews as i did not have walnuts at home. Mix the sauce with the potatoes and stir till the potatoes are properly coated. Add a cube or two of grated processed cheese as per your preference...i added 2 coz the kiddo loves anything with cheese. Season with salt and oregano and cover and cook for a few mins till the cheese melts.
