This is one such recipe which will never go wrong. This potato masala can be –

  • placed inside dosa making masala dosa.
  • can be paired with pooris and chapatis.
  • can be used as a stuffing for aloo bonda ( south Indian deep fried fritters).
  • also can be used in sandwich and rolls.

I use traditional pressure cooker method to cook the potatoes. Once you have the boiled potatoes, this recipe can be prepared in a jiffy.

I make this recipe every time with chapati’s, because my family loves this combo. I can also guarantee that this stuffing for masala dosa is even better than the restaurant one.

Lets begin with Potato masala recipe

1- Wash 2 medium size potatoes and pat dry. Then add these potato’s along with 2.5 cups of water to pressure cooker and cook it medium flame for 5 whistles. You can boil potatoes in cooking pot too adding sufficient water.

2- Once the pressure is released completely, open the pressure cooker. Remove the potatoes and peel off the potato skin, once they are warm to touch. Mash them roughly and keep it aside.

3- Heat 2 tbsp oil in pan, keeping heat medium. To this add mustard seeds. As they crackle add chana dal and urad dal. Fry till the dal turn golden.

4- Now add onion. Fry them for 1-2 mins. Then add chopped ginger and crushed garlic.

5- Fry till the onion turn translucent. This takes about 5-6 mins.

6- Add green chillies, curry leaves and fry for 1-2 mins. Add turmeric powder and fry for another 2 mins.

7- Now add mashed potato. Add salt and sprinkle some water and mix well.
