Aloo (Potato) Masala for Dosa
May 7th, 2008 filed under Subji (Vegetables), Vegan
Aloo masala is a nice compliment for any kind of dosa. The Aloo Masala can be rolled in the dosa or served as a side dish.
Serves 4.
Ingredients:
- 2 large potatoes
- 1 tablespoon oil
- Pinch of asafetida (Hing)
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds (Jeera)
- 1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds (Rai)
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric (Haldi)
- 1 finely chopped green chili (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
Method
- Boiled the potatoes until they are soft and let cool.
- Peel and chop the potatoes in small pieces.
- Heat the oil in a frying pan on medium high. Test the heat by adding one cumin seed to the oil. If it cracks right away, the oil is ready.
- Add the cumin seeds, mustard seeds and asafetida. As the seeds crack, add turmeric, potatoes, green chili, and salt.
- Stir-fry for a few minutes.
- Add lemon juice and cilantro.
- The potatoes should be slightly moist and not very dry.
- Serve hot.
Variations
Try adding 2 tablespoons of shredded carrots and 1/8 cup of green peas to potato mixture.

Dear Manjulaji,
Can we peel the potato skin, cut into cubes then cook it in the oil (with the cracked cumin, mustard seed etc) instead of boiling it?

Dear Manjula,
Many thanks for so many excellent recipes.
Whenever I watched your YOU TUBE recipes, I didnt only look at your way of cooking, preparing or at the ingredients used but also how nicely you keep your kitchen neat and clean with simple, transparent utensils which is very attractive, to the eyes. Cooking based on your recipes are not only welcomed by hungary stomachs but I think people become greedy all though their stomach is full
Last but not the least !! – I liked it very much when I read your words ” NEVER MIND IF IT DOESNT TURN OUT THE WAY IT IS SHOWN IN THE RECIPE, BE HAPPY YOU HAVE CREATED A NEW RECIPE !!
Thanks a lot and keep up the good work !!
Kind regards
