Ingredients
Potatoes
- 10 Baby Potatoes medium-sized
Chutney
- 1/2 cup Coriander Leaves cilantro, packed
- 2 Chilies green, optional
Other Ingredients
- 1 Onion medium, thinly sliced
- 3 tbsp Oil for frying
- 1.5 tsp Salt or to taste
- 1 tsp Chili Powder red
- 2 tsp Coriander ground
- 2 tsp Mango Powder amchur, dry
- 1/2 tsp Turmeric Powder
Instructions
- Parboil the potatoes until slightly tender. This ensures they cook evenly later. Peel the potatoes and set aside.
- In a food processor or mortar and pestle, combine the coriander leaves and green chilies (if using). Grind into a smooth paste.
- Heat the oil in a wok or large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté until they turn light golden brown. This caramelization adds sweetness and depth of flavor.
- Add the parboiled potatoes to the skillet. Fry them, stirring occasionally, until they develop a light golden crust.
- Add the coriander-chili paste to the potatoes. Stir well to coat the potatoes evenly.
- Add the salt, red chili powder, ground coriander, dry mango powder, and turmeric powder. Mix thoroughly to combine all the spices.
- Continue to cook for a few minutes, allowing the potatoes to absorb the flavors of the spices and chutney. For an extra tangy kick, add a squeeze of lime juice.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- For extra depth of flavor, try roasting the boiled baby potatoes in a hot pan with a touch of oil until they develop a crispy, golden crust before tossing with the chutney mixture.
- If you prefer a tangier taste, add a squeeze of fresh lime juice or a dash of amchur (dry mango powder) right before serving to enhance the chaat-like zing.
- To make this dish vegan-friendly, ensure the chutney does not contain yogurt or other dairy—substitute with coconut yogurt or skip dairy altogether.
- Serve Chutney Aloo as a filling for wraps or kathi rolls with sliced onions and a sprinkle of sev for a portable and satisfying snack.
Expert Tips
- Adjust the spice level of the chutney to your preference by adding more or less green chilies.
- For a richer flavor, use a combination of different chutneys, such as mint-coriander chutney and tamarind chutney.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro and a sprinkle of roasted cumin powder for an extra layer of aroma and flavor.
Storage Instructions
- Store leftover Chutney Aloo in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Gently reheat in a pan or microwave before serving.
