Poori Potato side dish

Boil the potatoes and remove the peels. In a pan, pour 2 tsp of oil, add mustard seeds and split urud dhal with jeera (cumin seeds). Once they splutter, add sliced or diced onions and few green chilies slit, with turmeric powder. Once the onions are sautéed, if you like you can add tomatoes. Once the tomatoes are cooked add the boiled potatoes and salt and leave it for 5 mins in low flame and switch off. Potato side dish is ready to be served with poori or chapati.

Optional: you can add 1-inch piece of ginger finely chopped as well as 3 or 4 cloves garlic finely chopped while sautéing onions. Ginger and Garlic are very good for health. So, I try to add in as many dishes as possible.

And also, if you don’t like tomatoes, add 1 tbsp of lemon juice once the dish is done and mix it thoroughly.
