Wash and halve the potatoes and place into a pan of salted boiling water. Cook until tender. Drain and put to one side.
In a large frying pan add the oil and heat until bubbling. Add the potatoes and chopped onion and fry until the onion is clear but not brown.
Next add the garlic, mustard seeds, curry powder and black onion seeds and let it sizzle for five minutes.
