Default Marwari Potatoes - Reason for the name, not known !

As my recipes of late have been , this is a recipe given by a cook to my mother in '40s ! Since onions were not very much used in that period, this dish does not have onions & hence, perhaps, the name - Marwaris are mostly Jains & do not eat onions.

Potatoes - ½ kg

Red chilli powder - 2 tsp

Salt, haldi

Dhaniya - 1 tbsp

Fresh curds - 1 cup

Oil - 1 tbsp

Ghee - 1 tbsp

To garnish:

Chopped coriander leaves - 1 tbsp

Wash, peel & cut potatoes into small cubes.

Wash well to remove extra starch & drain.

Roast dry dhaniya till aroma comes & powder fine.

Heat oil – ghee mixture.

Add haldi & red chilli powder.

Then add potatoes & salt.

Cover & cook potatoes in its own steam, as far as possible.

When cooked, add roasted dhaniya powder & remove.

Add well churned curds & mix well.

Garnish with chopped coriander leaves.
