  • Cooking time - 30 mins
  • Serves - 3
Ingredients:
  • Onion - 1 large, cut crosswise and sliced
  • Tomatoes - 2 medium, diced
  • Green chillies - 1, sliced and cut crosswise
  • Potato - 1 small, peeled and diced
  • Ginger - 2 inch, peeled and finely diced
  • Ground red chilli - 1 teaspoon
  • Ground coriander - 1 teaspoon
  • Salt to taste
  • Ground turmeric - a pinch
  • Oil - 1 tablespoon
For tempering:
  • Mustard seeds - 1/2 teaspoon

  • Dry whole red chilli - 1, torn crosswise
  • Asafoetida - 1/4 teaspoon
  • Curry leaves - 1 sprig

Method:


  •  In a pan, pour 1 tablespoon oil. Add the vegetables in. Saute well.


  •  Once the vegetables are sauteed, add the ground chilli, turmeric and coriander. Mix well.


  •  Add water till the veggies get immersed. Bring it to boil.


  •  Close the pan with lid and let the vegetable mixture cooks nicely soft over low/ medium heat.


  • Once the vegetables are done, drain the water and keep it aside in a bowl as we are going to use it later. In a traditional crockery pot masher, put the drained vegetables, add enough salt to taste. Mash it well.


  •  This is how it looks like when it is completely mashed. Keep it aside.


  •  In the same pan ( after washing once), add oil for tempering.


  •  Add the red chilli, mustard seeds, and all the tempering ingredients except cilantro.


  •  Pour the drained water into the tempering and keep your face a little away. 


  •  Now add the mashed up vegetable mixture into the pan.


  • Let it be boiled for 5 to 6 mins until the mixture is neither very thin nor thick. It needs to be in between thickness.
  • Garnish with cilantro and serve hot.
