Poori masala

If we make chepathi, there should be potato masala with it…They both are the perfect match made in heaven I THINK…If you agree with it, I love you…It is made with potatoes, I added some peas because I love that..But traditionally they wont add peas so You can skip it if you want.

 

Ingrediants:

Potato - 3 large peeled, cubed

Peas - 1/2 cup (I used Frozen)

Onion - 1 large sliced thinly

Green Chilli - 2 or to taste

Turmeric Powder - 1 tsp

Salt to taste

For Seasoning:

Mustard seeds / Kaduku - 1 tsp

Cumin Seeds / Jeerakam - 1 tsp

Channa dal / kadalai paruppu - 1 tsp

Curry leaves - 1 spring

Method:

Start by cooking the potatoes. Take cubed potatoes in a sauce pan and cover it with water untill the potatoes are just covered . Bring it to a boil, simmer and cook for 15-20 mins untill the potatoes are cooked completely. If there is so much water, you can drain, or keep it as it is..

Heat oil in a kadai and add all the seasoning ingrediants. Fry it for 1 min.

Now add in onions, green chilli, salt and turmeric and mix well. Cover and cook till it gets translucent..It will take around 5 mins.

Now add in the peas and mix well. Add in cooked potatoes along with any water in it.

Use a wooden spoon and start mashing the potatoes till it get the right consistency.Simmer it for 5 mins.

Serve it with poori.
