• 2 tablespoons chopped coriander leaves milk (optional)

• salt and pepper

---

Method:

1. Cook the potatoes in a saucepan of salted boiling water for 15-20 minutes until tender. Drain well, then return to the pan and mash until smooth.

2. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a small pan, add the coriander roots, and fry very gently until tender.

3. Remove from the heat and stir in the chopped coriander. Transfer to a liquidizer and process to form a smooth paste.

4. Add the coriander paste to the mashed potatoes with plenty of salt and pepper, and beat gently until evenly combined.

5. Stir in a little milk to form a softer mixture, if liked, and serve at once.

Note: Coriander roots can be found still attached to bunches of coriander in some supermarkets or greengrocers. Coriander stalks, chopped very finely, are a suitable alternative.
