Potato or Plantain roast:

This is not new for anyone here, but to get a proper roast without sneezing in kitchen because of the chilli powder, you can follow this tip....
Cut pototo or vaazhakaai in your desired size. Transfer to a bowl, add desired chilli powder, turmeric powder and salt. Mix well so that the chilli powder and turmeric is even.
As usual heat the pan with 2 or 3 tbsp of oil, then tranfer the potato/vazhakkai to the pan and give a mix, close the pan and leave it for 2 minuts, then mix again.
Repeat the same until the vegetable is cooked and roasted well. In this way you can get a proper roast at the same with less oil.

Thanks,

Sree

Dear P.S Tamby. here is the aloo saag, or potato saag.
Enjoy the dish. Kugan.



ALOO SAAG

Ingredients:

300 grms spinach, roughly chopped
1 medium onion sliced
3 green chillies sliced
A pinch of sugar

1 tbs oil or ghee
3 shallots finely chopped
1 tsp cumin seeds
¼ tsp tumeric powder
1 tsp coriander powder
1 tsp chillie powder

2 tsp ginger garlic paste
2 small tomatoes cut into cubes
½ tsp amchur powder
2 medium potatoes, boiled and cubed

2 tbs cream (optional )

Method:

In a pot, add the spinach, onion, green chillie and sugar.
Add very little water and boil till the spinach is cooked.
Remove, cool and grind into a little coarse paste. Keep aside.

Heat oil in a non- stick wok, add in the shallots, saute well.
Add in the cumin seeds and let them crackle.
Now add in the tumeric, chillie and coriander powders. Saute for a minute.

Now add in the ginger garlic paste, saute till the raw smell goes.
Add in the cubed tomatoes, amchur powder. Let the tomatoes become mushy.
Now add in the ground spinach paste, little water, and the potatoes.

On low flame let it cook for about 10 minutes, for the potato to absorb the flavour.
Remove and add the cream if using. Serve with rotis.


NOTE: you can use, panner, prawns, chicken, or what ever you fancy.
Some will add yogurt, before removing from the stove.
Some people like to add, little mustard leaves and funugreek leaves.

Many thanks Kugan akka, will try it. I dont like potato much, so I will leave
