Bharwan Alu Tiranga

Nope, i'm not back at cooking after a long but back at writing down the recipes I try out. In the meantime, i had made several one timer dishes only to forget the quicker than remembering to writing them down.

The name is suggested by my better half, Bharwan Alu Tiranga. Also the preparation and helping done by her. I only told her what to do and took pictures for your reference.

Let me tell you before you read the recipe or even try to cook it, it was yummy! :-)

Now the details.

Ingredients: 

Onions : 2 big ones, one small one.

Tomato : 2 medium ones.

Jeera, saumf powders

Methi leaves - a couple of handful

Roasted peanut powder.

Method:

Boil potato in pressure cooker for 2 whistles. Take them out, allow them to cool down and scoop the inner portion to leave enough potato outside with their skin on.

Grind onion to a fine paste

Chop onions and tomato. Take 4 table spoons of oil on a pan, heat and pour chopped onions and tomatoes in it. Add chilly flakes, salt and Saute till its fully done. Before turning off the flame, pour a handful of roasted peanut powder (make it little coarse though) and keep aside.

Finely chop methi and saute in oil along with finely chopped garlic and jeera+saumf powder for some time, keep aside.

Now fill potato first with onion tomato filling and then with methi filling.

Take a pan, pour oil and heat it. Add mustard seeds and curry leaves. Add onion paste and sauté till golden colour. Add the removed potato portion to make gravy, add garam masala, chilli powered and salt to taste, add water and let it boil.

Put the stuffed potato one by one on this gravy making sure they don't spill or burst. Close the lid and cook for 7-10 minutes in low flame.

(I chose the lid of cooker because i couldn't find anything else to close. A dome shape lid is better to close while you cook, instead of flat one. This allows the aroma to settle in the potatoes.


Finally the dish looks like this :-

You can omit putting potato in the gravy if you do not like potato gravy. instead you can make tomato gravy or even coconut gravy.

Enjoy the food!
