Aloo Rasedar

Actually one guy sent me a message thinking I cook Rajistani food when I told him in my reply that it is Peshawar area in Pakistan not Rajistan, North India. However this aloo rasedar is from Rajistan at least I read the actual recipe I tried out from another site. Obviously I blog hop on occation looking for new recipes to try out. This is my spin on this recipe and I hope you will like it.

Nowever my posts automatically now get uploaded immidiately in to not just here in WordPress but also Instagram, Mastadon, Linkin, Facebook and Tumblr. It used to be on Twitter now called X which is frigging insane. Twitter does not want to automatically post anymore so I have to share manually. I had to make my own page on Facebook for it to post because it will not post to my main page. It did before but then Mark Zuckerberg and his crew changed all of that.

Boil 3 potatoes in 1 gallon or 4 liters of water on stovetop for 40 minutes then drain and mash with a potato masher. I keep the skin on as you can tell but if you don’t then you can peel the potato and skin comes right off if you do not want the skin on there at all before you mash them.

Make Garam Masala and set this aside with the mashed boiled potatoes. On high heat add either 1/4 cup of olive oil or corn oil then add either 2 tbs of butter ghee, coconut oil or mustard oil, Add 1 pinch of hing, 1 small piece of ginger, 2 garlic cloves both washed and only the garlic cloves get peeled. Mince these and add to the oily mixture.

Add 1 pinch each of pink salt, cilantro, the boiled mashed potatoes, the garam masala in the mortar and pestle then shut off heat to grind in mortar and pestle again this time you will need 1 broken piece of amchur, 1 pinch each of fennel seeds, fenugreek seeds, coriander seeds, cumin seeds and grind and add to potato mixture in the pot and again turn on heat to high to cook the masala.

Reduce heat to low and stir. Add 1/2 cup of water and cover and let cook for 5 minutes and shut heat off. Have this as a side dish with kabab and lasi on the side and a fantastic salad too.
