Ingredients
Sagu Ingredients
- 4-5 Potato boiled, smaller size
- 2 tbsp Onion finely chopped
- 2 Chili Pepper chopped or slit, green
- 1 tsp Ginger paste
- 1 tbsp Gram Flour besan
- 1/4 tsp Turmeric
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1 1/2 cup Water
Tempering Ingredients
- 1 tsp Chickpea split
- 1 tsp Gram black
- 1 tsp Mustard Seed
- 1 sprig Curry Leaf
- 2 pinch Asafoetida
- 2 tbsp Oil
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chana dal, urad dal, and mustard seeds. This creates the tempering, which adds a deep, nutty flavor to the dish.
- Once the mustard seeds begin to pop, add the asafoetida and curry leaves. Sauté for a few seconds until fragrant.
- Add the chopped onion and green chilies to the pan. Sauté until the onions become translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the ginger paste and sauté for another minute until fragrant. This step helps to mellow the ginger's flavor and infuse it into the oil.
- Stir in the gram flour (besan) and sauté for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden. This toasts the besan and removes any raw taste.
- Pour in the water, salt, and turmeric powder. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
- Gently add the boiled potatoes to the pan. Be careful not to break them.
- Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and simmer for 5-6 minutes, or until the potatoes are heated through and the sauce has thickened slightly. The final consistency should not be too thick or too thin.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
