DEDE MED, Is there a recipe that have cubed potatoes, cumin seeds, onion powder and ginger (minced) in it? I recall someone bringing this dish to the annual International Festival...I can not recall from which country the dish represented, but it was INCREDIBLE! Could it be Assyrian, Labanese, Indian????? If you know, PLEASE share this recipe on your site, THANK YOU!
