A traditional spicy potato filling for my Mum’s Udupi style dosas or any dosa. Dosas makes a perfect vegetarian breakfast or lunch.
Ingredients:
- 2 medium potatoes – boiled and cubed
- 1.2 cup red onion sliced
- 2 Thai green chilies sliced
- 1 tablespoon garlic paste
- 1 sprig curry leaves
- 1/4 cup frozen green peas (I did not use any)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon mustard seeds
- 1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1/2 teaspoon red Kashmiri chili powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons MDH (Brand) TAWA FRY MASALA powder ( I use this to get the restaurant style potato flavor but you don’t need it )
Method:
- In an instant pot add washed potatoes, salt, and water, close the lid and set the timer for 10 minutes on a MANUAL or PRESSURE COOK. After 10 minutes do a quick release.
- Once potatoes are cool, peel and cut into 1/2 inch or 1/inch cubes.
- Heat a wok/karai and add oil, then add mustard seeds and once they pop; then add sliced onion, curry leaves, thai green chili, green peas, and give it a stir.
- Once the onions turn translucent, add boiled potatoes, salt, turmeric, and stir, add 1 tbsp. of water if needed to prevent sticking.
- Let it cook for 3-4 minutes to get some crisp on the potatoes, and turn off the heat.
- Garnish with cilantro and stuff it into the dosa or serve on the side.
- Any leftover potato can be smooshed between 2 slices of bread with some cheese and green chutney to create toasties for lunch the next day.
