Subscribe to RSSPotato side dish (Batate talasani)
This is again my mom’s recipe. But my anna(brother) did some modifications to it. He used to add garlic which gives more taste. He is a very good cook. He has a lot of interest in cooking & keeps trying some new dishes. Normally though cooking is taken as only girl’s job, my pappa(father – he is a doctor) & brother(he is an s/w engineer) are two very good male cooks I have ever seen. When I was a kid, if my mom went somewhere, my father used to cook very delicious things for me(I was very lazy child, I never used to enter the kitchen). When I grew up, i got interest in cooking. For three years, after coming to Bangalore, I experimented new things on my brother 
. Even he used to cook for me whenever I used to go home late from work.
Ingredients:
Potatoes 4
Chilli powder 2 tea spns
Garlic 4-5
Mustard seeds 1/4th tea spn
Turmeric a pinch
Salt
Oil 2 tea spns
Method:
Peel potatoes & cut into thin long pieces. Keep in water for 5 minutes.
Heat oil & add mustard. When they start spluttering, add crushed garlic. When garlic turns slightly brownish, add potatoes, chilli powder, turmeric powder, salt. Cover & cook. (Do not add water for cooking). Serve hot with chapathis or rice.
Note: Preferably use nonstick pan for preparing this. Add more oil, if the potatoes stick to the pan.
Serves : 4
Preparation time : 20min

Thanks for your comments. Well…I was planning to put the recipe pics. But u know, in my busy schedule, i was unable to take the pictures of whatever I cook. I will surely do that soon, bcos I am taking a career break soon. So will find more time to concentrate on my hobbies
