Ingredients
2 large Potatoes diced into medium-sized cubes
2 large Onions also diced to match the potatoes in size
3 Tbsp Besan (Chana dal flour)
Turmeric enough to give color to the gravy
1/2 + ACI- piece of Ginger chopped fine
Green chillies slit into quarters (as per taste)
Curry leaves (optional)
Salt to taste
Seasoning :
3 Tsp of cooking oil
1 Tbsp urad daal
Method :
-
Add enough water to the Besan to make a smooth paste. Add 2 pinches of
turmeric. Remove all lumps. Set aside.
-
Make seasoning with oil and urad daal in a pan.
-
Add ginger, chillies and curry leaves and toss for a minute.
-
Add the Potato and Onion pieces. Add Salt. Maybe also a pinch of turmeric to
give color to pieces. Then add minimum water to let cook. Cover with a lid and
let simmer till 'almost' done.
-
At this point add the Besan paste. Mix gently. Besan should form a gravy like
consistency in the pan. If required add more water or besan paste to achieve
the desired consistency. Remember, the gravy will get thicker as it cooks.
-
You should let the besan cook well on low flame stirring regularly but gently.
