Anyway I feel like I'm wondering off the subject again like I do on all of my posts lol! All i want to say really about this recipe is that it is a really good daily staple. I really would eat it every day if I could, but these days i am cooking less and less fried food, I really am an addict to fried food you see! (my waist pays for it though! lol)
Ingredients:-
1 large potatoes peeled and cut into juliennes or thin wedges,
About the same volume in tindora, washed, trimmed and cut into juliennes.
1/2 tsp mustard seeds,
1/2 tsp cumin seeds,
a pinch of asafoetida,
a pinch of ginger paste,
1/2 tsp green chilli paste,
1/2 tsp garlic paste,
1 tsp coriander-cumin powder,
1/4 tsp turmeric powder,
1 tsp sugar (optional)
salt to taste
fresh coriander to garnish,
a splash of fresh lemon juice.
Directions:-
1) In a wok or a large frying pan, heat 2 tbs oil until it is hot enough to add the mustard seeds.
2) Then add the mustard seeds and fry them until they pop like popcorn.
3) Then add the cumin seeds and the asafoetida and fry for just a moment.
4)Add the potato and fry, covered until nearly half way done. Remember to give it a toss from time to time.
5) Add the tindora, give it a toss and cover again turning frequently.
6) I don't like the tindora too crispy but if you do, cook uncovered for longer, but what I do is turn up the heat a little and give it all a stir fry uncovered for about 5 minutes.
7) When it is cooked to your liking, add the chilli, garlic ginger pastes, turmeric coriander, salt and sugar. Give it a good toss about over the heat and then check the seasoning. Adjust to your taste and then add the coriander.
Serve with a curry that has a sauce or gravy and also salad, kadhi and chapati.
