Here is another simple gravy from my favorite Gujarati Cuisine. As I have been saying here time and again, this is one of the cuisines I try out often and many a times I feel I have some sort of connection to this state!
The name literally means potato in a gravy type curry and it is mildly spicy, tangy with a hint of sweetness from the jaggery.It hardly takes 20 minutes to get done as I made it in a pressure cooker. It can also be made in a pan but the cooking time will be a bit longer. So, this is my second post for Blogging Marathon #46, week 1, Day 2 under No onion- No Garlic gravy
I used:
Potato -1 large, peeled and cubed
Ginger – 1″ piece, minced
Mustard seeds- 1/2 teaspoon
Cumin seeds- 1/2 teaspoon
Fenugreek seeds- 1/4 teaspoon
Red chili-1
Kashmiri red chili powder- 1 teaspoon
Coriander powder- 1 teaspoon
Tamarind pulp-1 teaspoon
Jaggery powder- 1 teaspoon
Turmeric powder- a large pinch
Salt to taste
Oil- 1 teaspoon
Coriander leaves to garnish
Heat oil in a small pressure cooker and put in the mustard, cumin,fenugreek seeds,red chili. When it splutters, add the ginger and saute for a few seconds.Put in the potato and give a mix.
1Add the chili powder,coriander powder, turmeric powder.
Put in salt and mix well to coat the potatoes. Add 250ml water[adjust based on how thick / thin you want the gravy to be], tamarind pulp,jaggery.Cover and pressure cook for 10 minutes . 2 whistles. Once the pressure releases, remove to a serving dish and serve garnished with coriander leaves.
Goes well with Roti. I loved it with rice!
Bon Appetit…
wow adding tamarind to the batata sabzi is interesting 🙂 looks alluring !!
I love Gujarati cuisine too as it is very close to Maharastrian cuisine. This recipe is so simple yet flavorful. Nicely presented.
What a beautiful color gravy good choice for the theme…
My kids use to love this shaak. We make it with tomatoes instead of tamarind.
My mouth is just watering here, tamarind in potato gravy omg am just drooling here.
I think Guajaratis can make infinite dishes with any ingredient. Love the use of masalas in this curry — very tempting.
Shaak looks colorful and mouthwatering. Though it doesn't have onion, shaak looks flavorful.
