Potato Masala

Poori Masala

Ok so i know we dont need any kind of introduction to this. Its really that one thing that goes with many other dishes. Yes i proudly present to you the One and Only 'Potato Masala'. Yes yeah its the same that you have with Poori, Chapati or even with Dosa :-)
Its mainly famous as the Masala in Poori Masala. I dont think anyone has Poori with anything else. One or the other form, always Potato Masala makes it with Poori. I had it with Chapati today and am still wondering why it isn't paired with Chapati too. They were awesome
So here i go to the recipe

Ingredients (Serves 3)
Potato - 3 medium (around 400 gms)
Onion chopped - 50 gms
Tomato chopped - 1 medium (around 70 gms)
Urad dal - 1 tbsp
Mustard - 1 tbsp
Curry Leaves - few
Turmeric pdr - 1/2 tsp
Green chilly - 3-4 (adjust to your heat level)
Oil - 1 tbsp
Water - 2 cups
Salt - 1/2 tsp (adjust to your taste level)

Pressure cook the potato with 1 cup water and 1/4 tsp salt for 2 whistles
Peel off the skin when it cools down and mash it with a fork. Take care not to mash it like a paste. It should be just semi mashed with little bites of potato.
Heat oil in a pan and splutter the mustard seeds, add the curry leaves, urad dal and green chilly. Fry till the urad dal turns light brown.
Add the onion and saute till transparent
Add the tomato and saute well. Add the turmeric,salt and saute till the raw smell goes. Now add 1 cup of water and when it boils, add the mashed potato and mix in well with the water. When it starts boiling, its done. You can stop the heat when it reaches your desired consistency.
It will thick a little bit even after stopping the heat, so take care about that

We like to have it with little gravy and not too thick.

Serve hot with Poori, Chapati or even Dosa

Happy Eating!!!
