  • ½ tsp turmeric powder

  • 4 tbsp oil
  • 1 tsp mustard seeds
  • 1 tsp cumin seeds
  • Pinch of hing
  • 2 dry red chilli

  • 2 tbsp peanut powder
  • 2 tbsp sesame seeds powder
  • ½ cup hot water or as required
  • 2 tbsp tamarind pulp

Instructions

  • Wash and cut tindora into medium-thick chips. Similarly, cut the potatoes into medium-thick chips. (Refer to the video.)
  • Heat oil in a pan and fry the tindora chips on medium-high flame until they become slightly crisp and 80% cooked. Remove them using a sieve and set them aside.
  • In the same way, fry the potato chips until they are 80% cooked and crispy on the outside. Remove them using a sieve and set them aside.
  • In a mixing bowl, add ½ tsp turmeric powder, 1 tbsp Kashmiri red chili powder, 2 tbsp coriander powder, and 1 tsp kitchen king masala. Add a little water to make a masala paste and keep it aside.
  • In a blender jar, add 2 green chilies, 1-inch ginger, 5 garlic cloves, and ¼ cup coriander leaves. Grind them into a paste without adding water. The green paste is ready; keep it aside.
  • Heat 4 tbsp oil in a kadai. Add 1 tsp mustard seeds, 1 tsp cumin seeds, a pinch of hing, 2 dry red chilies, and curry leaves. Sauté for a few seconds.
  • Then, add the green chili-ginger-garlic paste and sauté until the oil separates from the sides.
  • Next, add the prepared masala paste and sauté until the oil releases from the sides.
  • Now, add 2 grated tomatoes and salt. Sauté until the oil releases from the sides of the gravy.
  • Then, add 2 tbsp coarsely crushed peanut powder and 2 tbsp coarsely crushed sesame seed powder. Mix well and cook until the oil separates from the sides.
  • Add the fried tindora and potato chips to the gravy and mix well.
  • Pour in ½ cup hot water and mix. Cover and cook on low flame for 5-7 minutes.
  • Finally, add 2 tbsp tamarind pulp and 1 tbsp jaggery. Mix well.
  • Tindora Batata Nu Shaak is ready! Serve it hot with roti or rice.

Notes

  • Cut tindora into medium-thick chips. Do not cut them into thin chips.
  • Fry tindora on a medium-high flame. Do not fry it on a low flame.
  • Masala paste enhances the taste of the sabzi.
  • You can use garam masala instead of kitchen king masala.
  • The addition of green chili-ginger-garlic-coriander paste to the tempering enhances the taste of the sabzi.
  • Coarsely crushed peanuts and til give thickness to the gravy and enhance the taste of the sabzi.
  • Tamarind pulp enhances the taste of the sabzi. You can use lemon juice instead.
  • Tindora batata nu shaak taste great when it prepared slightly spicy and serve hot.
