lol chippy and nami… thankus! ![]()
ok this is what I did and it worked…lol
Take a pot, add potatoes cut into cubes ( i had 7 medium potatoes). Add almost 2 glasses of water, 1/4 cup fried onion (the one you get from desi grocery store, if you don’t have it, you can use fresh onion, slice it and throw it in the pot) ginger garlic paste, salt, corriander powder, haldi–little more then 1/4tsp but less then 1/2, dash of kalonji— the black colored seeds, dash of sabut dhaniya seeds—crush them in your palms, almost 1 tbsp, dried kasoori meethi—crush it in your palms, salt, 1/4 tsp red crushed pepper, and little shan achar ghoast masala. (Since I didn’t have the shan aloo bhujiya masala therefore I just added whatever masalas I had at home. If you have the shan masala, feel free to use that.)
Once you have added everything, let it cook on medium heat for like 20-25 mins, then reduce the heat to medium low. Keep stirring. When potaoes are tender use your cooking spoon to kind of break them while stirring. Let them cook on medium low heat for 10 mins or so..(it also depends how much water you have, if it too runny then you might have to cook longer, the best thing to do is keep the water content low and while cooking if you feel it needs more water, you can add more). Sprinkle chaat masala and leave on dum for 5 mins or so. Enjoy with puris. ![]()
Note: if you use shaan masala, don’t follow the step where they tell you to add a bucket of water in 5 potatoes and let them cook for 10 hrs…lol…
