Aloo Amritsari

Straight from the heart of Punjab, I bring you Aloo Amritsari. 

Speaking of which, did you know that the Golden Temple at Amritsar has more visitors than the Taj Mahal? Eh, but who's counting? ;)

AA is a fairly easy dish (yes am a lazy girl, so you may not see too many elaborate recipes) :P You'll need the following, though:

* 4 big potatoes, boiled

* 2 sliced onions

* 2 tsp ginger-garlic paste

* 1/2 tsp carom seeds (ajwain)

* 1/2 cup besan

* 1/2 tsp coriander powder

* 1/2 tsp red chili powder

* 1/2 tsp turmeric powder

* 1/2 tsp garam masala

* 1/2 tsp anardana powder

* Oil for frying

* Coriander leaves

* Salt to taste

Here's how:

1. Peel the potatoes and cut them length-wise.

2. Now, add some water to the besan, ginger-garlic paste, ajwain & salt, and make a batter. No lumps, remember? ;)

3. Then heat 2 tsp of oil, and fry the onions in it on high heat till they turn brown. Now, add salt, turmeric powder, red chili powder, anardana powder & garam masala. Mix well. of course :D

4. Now, add the potatoes to this mixture, and toss well. And keep cooking for 6 minutes on simmer flame.

Note: If you want to, you can add water to get some gravy. But not too much water, else it'll be a very runny dish.

5. Finally, garnish with coriander leaves. Then serve with puri/pulao/roti/paratha, or even pizza. Kidding :P
