Potatoes - 2
Sambar powder - 1/2 tsp
Ginger Garlic paste - 1 tsp
Turmeric powder - a generous pinch
Chilli powder - 1/4 tsp
Garam masala powder - a generous pinch(optional)
Salt - to taste
To temper:
Mustard Seeds - 1 tspSplit Urad Dal - 1/2 tsp
Curry leaves - few
Oil - 2 to 3 tsp
Method:
- Pressure cook potatoes until soft say for about 3-4 whistles. Peel of the skin and cut into bite sized pieces and keep aside.Heat oil in a kadai(I used iron kadai, you can use on stick too) - add mustard seeds, urad dal, curry leaves - allow it to crackle.
- Add ginger garlic paste fry for a minute. Then add onions and fry till golden brown. Add the cooked cut potatoes, add turmeric, chilli,sambar, garam masala powders and give a quick stir.
- Give a stir and fry until the potatoes turn golden brown. Turn over to cook evenly on all sides.
My Notes:
- Add ginger and garlic while adding potatoes to reduce gastric problems.
- While tempering you can add replace urad dhal with jeera / fennel seeds(sombu).
- The advantage of using a nonstick kadai is that even if you add less oil the veggies get roasted well.
- The bhaji goes well with toasted bread too.
- Dont skip butter as its the main ingredients which makes this chat tastier.
