Mathura Ke Dubki Wale Aloo

After the successful (I hope?) Dum Bhindi & Sultani Dal, bringing you another yumminess from Uttar Pradesh - Mathura Ke Dubki Wale Aloo!!

Oh, did you know that Mathura is one of the 7 most holy places for Hindus in India? Although I still can't find the connect of this being called 'dubki wale aloo' :| Eh, anyway.

Gather the following: (serves 6)

- 6 boiled & peeled potatoes
- 3 finely chopped green chilies
- 1/2 tsp dry ginger powder
- 1/2 tsp amchur
- 1 tsp red chili powder
- 1 tsp turmeric powder
- 2 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp cumin seeds
- 1/4 tsp asafoetida
- 1 cup chopped coriander leaves
- Cooking oil
- Salt to taste

1. Sabse pehle, cut the potatoes in cubes. Then mash them a bit & set aside.

2. Then, heat the cooking oil in a pan & add the cumin seeds & asafoetida.

3. When they begin to pop, add the potatoes, turmeric powder, ginger powder, amchur, sugar & salt.

4. Iske baad, add water to make a thin gravy. Then remove from flame.

5. Finally, heat 1 tbsp cooking oil & pour on the potatoes, then sprinkle the red chili powder & coriander leaves pronto.

MKDWA done!!

TipToEat - This actually depends on whether the aloos have turned out dry or with gravy. If dry, have them with puris. And with rice (yay!) :P if there's  gravy.
