BATATA RASSA BHAJI



This is traditional Batata rassa bhaji recipe. The spices merge very well with the potatoes and make it flavourful. You can also add some other veggies to it like peas, cauliflower, but on festivals I used to make the batata bhaji like this simply with potatoes. I already shared the batata rassa bhaji which is only with red chilli powder and not with kala masasla. Hope you like this recipe.

Salt to taste

½ teaspoon each Cumin-Mustard Seeds

1 ½  tablespoon Oil

Water

METHOD:

STEP 1 – Boil the potatoes and let them cool. Peel them off and cut into big sized pieces.


STEP 2 – Now take a pan, heat it and add oil to it.When oil heated add cumin-mustard seeds and let them crackle.

STEP 4 – Now add spices one by one, turmeric, red chilli powder, dry coriander powder, kala masala and salt and roast it.

STEP 5 – Add potato cubes in it and mix well.

STEP 6 – Add very little water and cook for a minute mixing it well.

STEP 7 – After a minute add required amount of water according to your liking consistency and cover the pan.
