All time favourite for any occasion. It tastes great with Chapathi, Poori and Rava Idli's too.
Ingredients:
Potatoes (Med size) - 4
Tomatoes - 2
Chopped Corainder - 2 tbsp
Mustard Seeds - 1 tsp
Channa Dal - 2 tsp
Urad Dal - 2 tsp
Turmeric - 1/2 tsp
Cumin Seeds (Jeera) - 1 tsp
Coriander powder - 2 tsp
Cumin Powder - 1 tsp
Garam Masala - 2 tsp
Chilli powder - 2 tsp
Sugar - 1 tsp
Oil - 2 tbsp
Salt to taste
Method:
Cut the potatoes in big chunks and pressure cook them for two whistles. Peel their skin and randomly chop them into small pieces with knife. Mash a small quantity of potato (approx 1/2 potato).
Also, chop the tomatoes finely.
Heat oil in a pan and add mustard seeds and jeera. Once the mustard seeds splutter, add channa dal, urad dal and turmeric.
Put the tomatoes into the pan and cook on med flame till then turn soft. You can add little water to this.
Once the tomatoes are cooked, add the potatoes and mix well. Add little more water.
Now add Cumin powder, Coriander powder, Chilli powder, Sugar and Garam Masala. Simmer for around 5 minutes until the potaoes soak the masala flavours. Add in the chopped coriander and salt. Potato Saagu is ready to be served.
Note:
1. I have mashed little amount of potato only to give the thickness to the gravy.
2. Onions can be a good replacement for Tomatoes or you can add them both.
