Chatpate aaloo

Hi Friends,

In my earlier posts I had shared Daal kachori's recipe with you and had mentioned that the kachori's go well with dry masala aaloo. Today I will share the recipe of Chatpate aaloo which I usually serve with daal kachoris- you can enjoy these as chaat too with some innovations of yours.

CHATPATE AALOO:

INGREDIENTS:

Aaloo (Potatoes)

Hari Dhania Coriander leaves

Oil

Salt

Whole Red chilies 

Coriander seeds

Laung (Clove)

Khadi kali mirch (Pepper corns)

Jeera (Cumin seeds)

Badi elaichi (Black cardamom)

Dalchini (Cinnamon)

METHOD:

Wash the potatoes thoroughly as we are not going to peel them. Dice them in 1" cubes.

Dry roast all the dry  masala (spices) except salt.Coarsely ground the roasted masala.Deep fry the diced potatoes on medium heat till golden brown. Mix roasted coarsely ground masala and salt in the fried aaloo and garnish with hari dhania.

Your chatpate aaloo are ready to be served with kachoris or without kachoris -choice is yours.

TIP:

My mother always preferred using baby potatoes for this recipe as baby potatoes taste much better. If you use them then there is no need to chop them, you can use whole potatoes.

Happy cooking...
