Quantity Ingredient
Stephen Ceideburg
4 mediums Potatoes, peeled
½ teaspoon Turmeric
1 tablespoon Corn oil
1 tablespoon Chana dal
1 tablespoon Urad dal
2 Dried red chiles, broken into pieces by hand
2 teaspoons Mustard seeds
1 One-inch cube fresh ginger, peeled and minced
2 Fresh green chiles, minced
1 large Onion, thinly sliced
Salt to taste
1 teaspoon Fresh lemon juice

Directions

Cut potatoes into 2-inch cubes, boil until tender and drain. Add half the turmeric and mash lightly with a large fork. It should still be quite chunky. Keep warm.

Heat oil in a medium saucepan or skillet until hot. Turn heat to golden, add ginger and fresh green chiles. Stir for 3 minutes.

Add sliced onion, salt and remaining turmeric. Cook until onion is soft and transparent. Add a few drops of water if mixture looks too dry. Add to potatoes and mix well. Add lemon juice. Serve warm.
