Ingredients are in PURPLE font
>>You will need baby potatoes with their jackets. This is a very easy dish. Steam the baby aloo in the pressure cooker. Remember to put a little water in the base. Now, understand that it has to be cooked just right - else the aloo will all be mashed.
>>Once steamed, peel of the jackets and marinate the aloo with salt, turmeric and red chilli powder. All of this is dry. If you are not health conscious, you may add a bit of oil if you like. DON'T RUB your eyes after marinating - even after you wash your hands. Else you'll be in tears by the time your guests arrive! Leave this marinated mess for half an hour while the potatoes soak in the salt.
>>Now the hing tadka: take a little oil in the frying pan and toss in some jeera. Allow it to sputter, then add some hing (asaefoetida) and place in the potatoes one by one. Allow it to shallow fry till golden. Then turn it over till its evenly golden or brown (as you like it!)
>>Sprinkle in some freshly chopped corriander and squeeze in a dash of lemon juice before serving.
TIP:
1) This is a great party dish and canbe served as a starter as well!
2) You can shake up some jal jeera powder OR rock salt OR chaat masala to pepp up the flavour
3) Remember to serve this dish in a flat plate or wide 'pan'ish bowl instead of a vessel. It looks good this way!
