  3. Once they crackle add grated adrak (ginger) and fry for a few seconds.

  4. Add pureed tamatar (tomatoes) and cook till oil leaves the masala.

  5. Break boiled aloo (potatoes) with your hands and add to the masala.

  6. Add amchur (dry mango powder), lal mirch (red chilli powder), nimboo ras (lemon juice) and salt and mix well.

  7. Add beaten dahi (curd or yogurt) to the masala and mix well. This will add water to the mix. If you want a drier version simmer uncovered.

  8. Leave covered on simmer for 10 minutes so that all ingredients are well integrated.

In India it will be difficult to find a home where potatoes are not transformed into sweet-smelling and delicious fries, mash or curry. Politically, price rise of potatoes has the potential to topple governments.
