Imli Aloo
Ingredients:
6 large sized potatoes - peeled, cubed and boiled
2 Tbsp oil
1 tsp cumin seeds (jeera)
1/4 tsp fenugreek seeds (methi)
1/4 tsp carom seeds (ajwain)
3 or 4 red chillies
A pinch of asafoetida
1 Tbsp tamarind juice
Chili powder or to taste
Salt to taste
Garam masala to taste
Coriander powder to taste
Chat masala + Mint powder* (I did not use them.)
Minced cilantro for garnish
* I think the dish would be super spicy if we went along with the directions. The quantities mentioned in the book are
3 tsp coriander powder + 4 dried red chillies + 1 tsp chili powder + 1/2 tsp garam masala + 1/2 tsp chat masala + 1/2 tsp mint powder
Method:
* Heat oil in a pan and add cumin seeds, fenugreek seeds, fennel seeds, dried chillies and asafoetida. When the seeds start to brown, add tamarind water. Add potatoes and mix well.
* Then add all the spice powders and salt. Cook on low flame for about five minutes, stirring occasionally.
* Garnish with cilantro and serve hot.
