About

Yoghurt is easily made with a Thermos flask and a thermometer. A tablespoon of yoghurt stirred into a pint of milk that has been brought to blood heat, left overnight in the Thermos, makes perfect yoghurt.

Method

Boil or steam the cleaned potatoes (peel if old ones are used) until tender. Keep warm while you prepare the rest.

Heat the oil in a wide pan and put in all the spices and the bay leaves. Cook for a few moments and then add the potatoes. Put a lid on the pan and shake it so that the potatoes are covered with the spices. Finally add the yoghurt, season with salt and pepper and serve.
