Ingredients
Potatoes
- 250 gm Potatoes
Aromatics and Spices
- 2 Chillies finely chopped, green
- 4 clove Garlic finely chopped
- 1 Tomato chopped
- 6 leaves Curry Leaves
- 0.25 cup Coriander chopped
- 0.5 tsp Turmeric Powder
- 1 tsp Coriander Powder
- 0.5 tsp Gujarati Dal Shaak Masala
- 0.5 tsp Salt or to taste
For Cooking
- 2 tbsp Oil
- 0.25 tsp Asafoetida
- 0.5 tsp Mustard Seeds
Instructions
- Boil the potatoes in salted water until tender. Drain and dice the potatoes.
- Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the mustard seeds and let them splutter. This releases their nutty aroma and flavor.
- Add the asafoetida, green chilies, garlic, and curry leaves to the pan. Sauté for a minute until fragrant.
- Stir in the turmeric powder and coriander powder. Cook for another minute until fragrant, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
- Add the diced potatoes to the pan and stir well to coat them with the spices. Season with salt and Gujarati Dal shaak masala. Mix thoroughly.
- Sprinkle a little water over the potatoes, cover the pan, and cook for 3-4 minutes to allow the potatoes to absorb the flavors.
- Remove the lid and add the chopped tomatoes and cilantro. Stir well and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the tomatoes soften slightly.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve hot with puri or roti.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- For extra crunch, parboil the potatoes first, then shallow fry or roast them before adding to the gravy—this keeps the exterior crisp while soaking up the garlicky sauce.
- If you don’t have Gujarati Dal shaak masala, blend together equal parts coriander powder, cumin powder, and a pinch of cinnamon and clove for a similar depth of flavor.
- To amplify the sour-tangy profile, add a splash of tamarind pulp or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice just before serving.
- Lasaniya Bataka pairs wonderfully with soft rotlis or steamed rice, but you can also serve it as a spicy filling inside a toasted sandwich for a fusion brunch idea.
Expert Tips
- Adjust the spice level by adding more or fewer green chilies according to your preference. Start with a smaller amount and add more as needed.
- For a richer flavor, use ghee instead of oil when sautéing the spices and potatoes.
- Freshly chopped cilantro adds a vibrant flavor and visual appeal to the finished dish. Garnish generously just before serving.
Storage Instructions
- Store leftover Lasaniya Bataka in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, adding a splash of water if needed to prevent drying out.
