Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

   Combine the potatoes, mustard, cumin seeds, turmeric, 1 tsp each salt and black pepper, the chilli flakes and oil in a large bowl. Tip into a flameproof dish (cast iron works well) along with 100ml water, and cover tightly with foil.

2. 2

   Put the dish on the grill directly over the coals and cook for 30 mins, stirring after 15 mins. Remove the foil and use a fish slice to turn over the potatoes (they should be tender), scraping up any stuck spices. Move the dish to the indirect heat and cook for 15 mins to brown.
