1 tbsp oil,

3 flakes of garlic,

½ tsp cumin powder,

In the same hot oil add the remaining leek and garlic and fry till they turn pink. Now add the cumin powder and fry for another two minutes.

In the meanwhile add the Maggi chicken cubes to about half a litre of water. Add the potatoes and this liquid to the fried leeks and cook till the leeks are tender. Let cool.
