If you are a regular reader of this space, you know that we have a whole troop of Alu fans around here! So I am forced to make something interesting with Alu all the time. I try to bring variety to the Alu kurma each time I prepare and so when I saw this recipe in Priya's space, I bookmarked it and made it almost like the original. Whatever tweaks I did was to accommodate my family's taste!
Ingredients -
Potatoes cubed 3 Cups
Onion thinly sliced 1/2 cup
Tomato chopped 1 cup
Turmeric 1/4 tsp
Salt as per taste
Seasoning (Oil 1 Tbsp, bayleaf 1, Cloves 3-4, Cinnamon 1 inch, Star anise 1 petal, Fennel seeds 3/4 tsp)
To Grind-
Mint leaves 1/4 cup
Coriander leaves 1/4 cup
Green chillies 2- 3 (or as per taste)
Peppercorns 3-4 (or as desired)
Method Of Preparation -
In a heated sauce pan, add oil and the rest of the seasoning. After the fennel seeds brown a little, add onion and saute until brown.
Add chopped tomatoes and cook until mushy.
Make a fine paste of the ingredients listed under 'To Grind" and add it to the mix.
After the raw smell goes away, add turmeric, the chopped potatoes and cover with a lid adding as much water as is needed (about 1-2 cups).
Remove from fire, after the potatoes are cooked and garnish with chopped coriander leaves.
Serve warm with pulao/naan/roti/rice.
