Oven Roasted Potatoes

Roasted Potatoes
Oven roasted red potatoes seasoned with Indian spices and herbs. Every time I cook potatoes, I try different seasonings. Until now, rosemary and garlic were our favorite spices. These desi style chatpate Aloo have become our new favorite.

Ingredients:
Red Potatoes - about 500 gms
Oil - 2 tbsp
Black Pepper Powder - 1/2 tsp
Cayenne Pepper/Red Chili Powder - 1/2 tsp
Chat Masala - 1/2 tsp
Ground Cumin/Jeera Powder - 1/2 tsp
Kasuri Methi/Dry Fenugreek Leaves - 1 tsp
Garlic Powder - 1 tsp
Kala Namak/Indian Rock Salt

How to roast potatoes in an oven:
  • Preheat the oven at 400 degrees F. Line a baking tray with aluminum foil.
  • In a big mixing bowl, add oil, fresh ground black pepper, cayenne pepper, chat masala, cumin, garlic, salt and kasuri methi. Crush the kasuri methi leaves between your palms before adding to the bowl. If Kala Namak is not available, use regular salt. Mix all the ingredients well. You can add more oil if you like.
  • Wash/scrub the potatoes well. Pat them dry. Dice each potato lengthwise into 4 parts. Cut each quarter into 2.
  • Add the diced potatoes to the bowl and toss them well.
  • Spread the potatoes evenly on the tray. Bake for about 30 minutes. Using a fork check if the potatoes are cooked.
Serve Asian style Roasted potatoes as a side dish.

Naval Kol Bhaji / Kohlrabi Stir-fry

Green Kohlrabi called as Navalkol in Marathi and Navilkosu in Kannada, belongs to the cabbage family.  My Mom used to make this stir fry very often.  Just like cabbage, this vegetable in available in two colors - green and purple.  I was quite hesitant about the purple one, as I haven't seen that back in India.  Anyway, I picked the green bulbs and Navalkohl Bhaji with Chana Dal was part of our healthy vegetarian meal today.

Indian Dal / Lentils

Lentils, known as Dal are a staple in an Indian diet, especially vegetarian. For me, dal is comfort food. 5 different dal varieties - Toor, Moong, Chana, Masoor and Urad are commonly used in Indian sweet and savory delicacies. You can cook dal with just one kind or a mix of two or more. I generally cook dal with 1:1 Toor and Moong dals. But then, we like Panchmel or Panchratna Dal too, which is made of all five. Most dal recipes have Toor dal as the primary ingredient. It is also known as Toovar or Arhar dal or Split Pigeon Peas . Some of our family favorite dal recipes are Dalitoy (Konkani Dal)  Tadka Dal Among all lentils, moong dal and masoor dal take lesser time to cook. Moong dal is also known as Split Green Gram or Split Mung Bean . Moong dal is also used in making sweet dishes like Mung Dal Kheer  Mung Dal Puranpoli Chana dal is also known as Split Bengal Gram or Split Chickpeas . Chana Dal takes a little more time to cook as compared to toor dal....
