Instructions
- Peel off the skin from potatoes and carrots.
- Take aside 1/4 cup of cooked potatoes, mash it very well and keep it aside.
- Heat 2 tbsp of oil in a pan.
- Add the masala ingredients to it.
- Once the masala aroma comes out, add onions, green chillies, curry leaves, followed by ginger and garlic.
- When you see onions becoming translucent and green chillies skin bubbling up, add green peas and saute for 7 minutes.
- To this mix, add cooked potatoes and carrots and coat them well with the masala mix.
- :- Mashed potatoes thickens the gravy.
- Taste test here for salt and adjust to taste.
- :- The gravy consistency should be thick and gluey.
- Garnish with more curry leaves .
- Standards I follow:- 1) 2 cups thin milk = 1 1/4 cup water + 3/4 cups thick milk 2) If I dont have all masala ingredients, I use 1/4 - 1/2 garam masala powder (But taste is very much compromised..). 3) Before serving I take out masala sticks out, if I end up using whole spices. 4) Some times, I put star anise before serving as garnish and serving purposes.
- Enjoy the Ishtu Kerala Style!!
