Our close family friends are Vaishnavs. Onions and garlic are prohibited in Vaishnav cuisine. Every other Poornima (full moon) day we would be blessed with a bowl of this recipe. I did not realize how much I loved it till one day, when feeling down in Mumbai, I made this dish just recollecting the taste and guessing what all could have gone into it. Its high calorie, yummy and most definitely my comfort food!
Ingredients (serves 2):
4 large potatoes, boiled and mashed
sprig of curry leaves
1 tsp cumin
2" piece of ginger, sliced thinly
1/2 cup peanuts, skinned
2 tbsp oil
1 tbsp ghee
sugar and salt to taste
Method:
Heat the oil in the pan and fry the peanuts till brown, reserve separately. In the same oil, fry the cumin, curry leaves and ginger. Now add the mashed potatoes and simmer for a minute till the potatoes leave the sides of the pan. Add the peanuts, salt and sugar and ghee and fry some more. Serve hot.
This gcan be had on its own, it also goes with rice and dal but can also be stuffed between bread to make a snack.
