Spicy Baby Potatoes




Ingredients:

Baby potatoes - 20 nos
Onion - 1
Ginger garlic paste - 1/2 tbsp
Capsicum - as needed
salt

Spice powders used (as required):

Turmeric pdr
Coriander pdr
Chilli pdr
Garam masala
Amchur pdr

Preparation:


Cook the baby potatoes with a lil salt in a pressure cooker. I had to leave them for 3 whistles in mine to get well done. Strain the water. Remove the skin off from the potatoes and keep them aside.

In some water, add all the spice powders.

In a pan, add some oil. When oil becomes hot, add the onion, salt
and saute till its becomes translucent. Now add the ginger garlic paste and after the raw smell leaves off from it, add the spice powder water to it. Cook well till the oil separates and then add the baby potatoes. Cook covered on a medium flame for 5 minutes. The masala should coat well over the little guys. Remove this off from the pan. In the same pan, add a tsp of oil and saute the capsicum slices. Spread them over the potato and garnish with some coriander leaves. Yummy spicy baby potatoes are ready to be served. You can also add some lemon juice to top this up. It goes great with pulaos and rotis. Give it a try !!!
