Ingredients

  • 1 ½ teaspoons Ghee (Clarified butter)
  • ½ teaspoon Cumin seeds
  • 2 Green chilies chopped finely
  • 2 cups Potatoes washed, peeled and cubed

  • 2 tablespoons Peanuts
  • 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
  • 1 cup Water
  • 1 teaspoon Lemon juice or Lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon Cilantro or coriander leaves finely chopped for garnishing

Instructions

  • Heat the ghee in a pressure cooker on medium heat. Once hot add cumin seeds. Let them sizzle then add chopped green chilies and saute for a few seconds.

  • Then add peanuts, rock salt (Sendha namak) and red chili powder. Mix well.
  • Add 1 cup of water. Stir it well.
  • Cover the lid, put the weight on. Let it whistle 2 times on medium heat. Then turn off the stove. Let the pressure go down by itself and open the lid.
  • Using the back of your spatula, mash a few potatoes for a thicker gravy. Add lemon (lime) juice, mix and garnish it with chopped coriander leaves.

Notes

As it cools the gravy will thicken. If it is rested for 10-30 minutes or so, all the gravy will be absorbed by the potatoes.
