MASHED ALOO MASALA

Mashed Aloo Masala

I made this once as a filling for Aloo sandwich and it became an instant hit with my husband and daughter.  Now, they ask me to make this as a side dish for chappati / roti.  Its a very simple, easy and quick recipe and can be used as a filling for parantha, sandwich and samosas.  I make it really spicy and tangy. 

INGREDIENTS
Potato (Cooked) 3 large
Oil 2 tsp
Jeera 1/2 tsp
Asafoetida A generous pinch
Green Chilli (Finely chopped) 2
Ginger (Finely chopped) 1” piece
Red Chilli Powder 1 tsp
Turmeric Powder 1/4 tsp
Coriander Powder 1 1/2 tsp
Garam Masala 1/2 tsp
Amchur Powder 1/2 tsp
Salt To taste
Kasuri Methi 1 1/2 tbsp
Peanut (Roasted) 1 tbsp
Cashew (Roasted) 1 tsp
Fresh Coriander 1 tbsp

 

METHOD

  • Steam cook potato, peel the sink and mash it with a masher.
  • Heat oil in a kadai, crackle jeera and hing.  Add in green chilli and ginger.  Stir fry for about 30 sec to season the oil.
  • Now, add all the dry masalas – red chilli powder, turmeric powder, coriander powder, garam masala, amchur powder and salt.  Add about 2 tbsp of water to avoid masalas from getting burnt.  Stir fry till the masalas start leaving oil.
  • Now add kasuri methi, peanut and cashew.  Sauté for a minute and add the mashed potato.  Mix well.  Cook for about 2 minutes to blend well and remove from fire.
  • Garnish with fresh coriander. 
  • Serve as is for roti and use it as a filling.
