ALOO MATAR RECIPE | ALOO MUTTER

Steps:

• Wash and chop onions and tomatoes. Puree tomatoes if you do not like them chopped.
• Also wash and peel potatoes. Cube them to 1 inch pieces. Keep them immersed in water until used.
• Heat oil in a cooker, pan or kadai. Saute cumin till they begin to crackle.
• Add chopped onions, green chili and fry until lightly golden or pink.
• Next put in the ginger garlic paste and saute until the raw smell disappears.
• Add tomato puree and saute for 2 mins.
• Next add chili powder, garam masala, coriander powder, turmeric and salt.
• Saute until oil begins to separate from the masala.
• Add potatoes and peas. Saute for 2 mins.
• Add water just enough to cover the potatoes. Cook covered on a low to medium heat.
• Stir in between a few times, cook until the potatoes turn soft. You can adjust the consistency by adding more water as needed.
• If making in pressure cooker then, allow to whistle twice on a medium heat.
• Add kasuri methi and mix well. Adjust salt if needed.
• Serve aloo matar with rice or roti.
• Chop the potatoes to 1 inch pieces. Press saute button on the instant pot and pour oil to the steel insert.
• When the oil turns hot, add cumin seeds. As soon as they begin to splutter, add chopped onions and saute until light golden.
• Then stir in the ginger garlic and saute for 30 to 60 seconds. Then add tomato puree and mix well.
• Add all the spice powders - red chilli powder, turmeric, garam masala, coriander powder and salt.
• Saute for a few minutes until the masala smells aromatic. (For a more authentic version you may saute this till the masala turns thick and aromatic. For this you have to switch over to saute low and saute.)
• Then pour 1 cup of water for 2 cups of cubed potatoes. After pouring water scrape the bottom of the steel insert with a spatula to deglaze. Add peas. (If using frozen peas that are too tender, add them later once the curry is done. Simmer for a few minutes.)
• Secure the Instant pot lid with the steam release handle set to sealing.
• Press pressure cook button (high pressure) & set the timer to 4 minutes. When the IP is done, do a quick release by moving the steam release valve from sealing to venting.
• Add kasuri methi. Stir and taste test. Add more garam masala and salt if you prefer. For a thicker consistency you can also cook it on a saute mode for 1 minute.
• Garnish aloo matar with coriander leaves. Serve aloo matar with rice or roti.

INDIAN CURRIED POTATO WRAP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350. Lightly oil a baking dish.
• Place the potatoes an dsalt in a small pot with water to cover and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover, and cook for about 10 minutes, until tender. When the potatoes are tender, drain and mash them with the cream cheese, and set aside.
• Meanwhile, warm the oil in a saucepan, and saute the onions and garlic on medium heat for about 10 minutes, until translucent (or, if you're brave, 20 minutes until a deep golden brown - but watch carefully to keep from burning!). Add the ginger, cinnamon, turmeric, and cayenne and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly. Add the peas and tomatoes, cover, and cook on low heat just long enough to heat through. Stir the cook vegetables and the lemon juice into the mashed potatoes. Add salt to taste.
• Place a generous 1/3 cup of the filling at the bottom of each wrap and roll it up. Place the wraps seam side down in the prepared baking dish, cover with aluminum foil, and bake for 10-15 minutes, until hot.

MUMBAI POTATO WRAPS WITH MINTED YOGURT RELISH

Steps:

• Heat the sunflower oil in a large saucepan and fry the onion for 6-8 mins until golden and soft. Stir in 1½ tbsp curry powder, cook for 30 secs, then add the tomatoes and seasoning. Simmer, uncovered, for 15 mins.
• Meanwhile, add the potatoes and ½ tbsp curry powder to a pan of boiling salted water. Cook for 6-8 mins until just tender. Drain, reserving 100ml of the liquid. Add the drained potatoes and reserved liquid to the tomato sauce along with the mango chutney. Heat through.
• Meanwhile, mix together the yogurt and mint sauce, and warm the chapattis following pack instructions.
• To serve, spoon some of the potatoes onto a chapatti and top with a few sprigs of coriander. Drizzle with the minted yogurt relish, adding extra mango chutney if you wish, then roll up and eat.

FETA, SPINACH AND SWEET POTATO WRAP

Steps:

• I do this in the food processor, but mostly it's also easy by hand.
• Chop the spinach and the feta cheese together so they form an evenly blended mass.
• Peel and chop the sweet potatoes and put them in water to cover.
• Bring to the boil, and cook until just tender.
• Dice the bell peppers and onion and set aside.
• When the potatotes are done, drain and stir in the spread and the curry spices, basil, garlic powder and sweetener. Season with salt and pepper.
• Spread the spinach and feta mix on the tortillas, dividing it evenly and making a flat bed.
• Place the potato chunks on top spreading them out.
• Top with the diced peppers and onion.
• Fold in the sides of the tortilla toward the middle, leaving about 1/3 open space in the middle (no the sides do not touch). Fold the bottom third over the two sides and then continue on folding until the tortilla is closed.
• Tuck in loose side edges.
• Bake in the oven at 425F until the tortillas brown and puff.
• Serve after a brief cooling as a hefty lunch.
