got to try masala chips !

I came across this recipe in indus ladies . got to try this today .

it is an indian curry dish.
 
For this you could use Potato, Raw Banana or Chenai Kizhangu (Yam in English ) 

If you are using Yam, cut it into a resonably big squares. If it is potato or Raw Banana then make slices of a reasonable thick size.

The ingredients are for 1/2 kg potato or 1/2 kg Yam or for 2 Raw Bananas.

Ginger Garlic Paste - 1 tbsp
Red Chilli Powder - depending upon the hotness of the powder take it 2 or 3 spoons.
Turmeric powder - 1 pinch
Onion - 1 Big
Tomato - 1 Big
Tamrind Paste - if thick 2 tbsp, and if watery 4 tbsp.
Masala Powder/Masala Paste - 1 sp

Method :
Make a fine paste of tomato, onion, and ginger garlic paste. Mix chilli powder, turmeric powder, tamrind paste and Masala Paste and the ground paste with oil and necessary salt. Make it a fine paste. Add the cut vegetable to it and mix it thoroughly so that the paste coats on all the slices. Keep aside the slices for 15 mins. Then pressure cook till 3 whistles (make sure while pressure cooking that the lid is tightly closed and no water enters the vessel in which you have kept the vegetable.

Remove it when it is cool and in a tawa fry it with a little oil. Turn the other side and fry that too. The outer side will be crispy and the inside will be a bit soft. It is a great side dish for Karakuzhambu/ Sambar/ Vathal Kuzhambu and any time of Rasam.

If you want to have it as a side dish for Chappati or Dosa you need to use only potatoes add water and make it a thinner gravy.

Definetely gonna try this today !
