Keep aside to marinate. Heat the oil and brown the onions, once the onions are browned add the red chili and turmeric powder. Saute for a couple of minutes, do not allow to burn. Add the marinated potatoes, add the water and blend in well, bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer without a cover to allow the water to evaporate and improve the consistency. Serve hot as a side dish, excellent with white rice and Lashne Tambli. (Garlic Tambli) Could also be eaten as a main dish with hot chapattis. Purnima I make batatya song a bit differently:

She roasted the chiles in a very little oil until they began to give off a pungent smell (that took the edge off their sharpness), and she added methi seeds to the masala, also roasting them with the red chiles. Also, she boiled the potataoes in their skins until done, peeled them, and then cubed them. That keeps more of the nutrition in, although it is also more work. And finally, she cooked the whole mixture for a while on a low flame so that the hot/sour sauce would penetrate the potato pieces. My mother’s version was different in several respects.

Yesterday, i tried the Potato Methi daal. I had some methi leaves which i wanted to finish, so i added those in as well. It came out really well. Thanks. My husband is a Mangalore Brahmin (from Surathkal) and my mil makes a variety of thambulis and many other things, which my hubby loves. I've told her thrice that i want to learn her cooking, but she hasnt shared a single recipe with me yet. She doesnt seem very willing :-( Just feel bad that my poor husband doesnt get to eat all that because i dont know to make them! If you know those recipes could you please post them up too. Alternatively, I could give you the names of the specific dishes and if you know them or can find out about them from any kannada magazines, i would be really really grateful. Thanks and keep up the good work :-) Hi Shilpa,
