Batate Talasaan (Stir Fry Potato)

Potato can be cooked in numerous ways. This one is my favourite, the way my Mom cooks. A Konkani potato stir fry with coconut. 

Ingredients:

Potatoes - 2 big

Green Chilies - 4
Curry Leaves - a sprig

Turmeric - 1/4 tsp

Mustard Seeds - 1/2 tsp

Grated Coconut - 1 tbsp 

Asafetida/Hing - 1/4 tsp

Oil - 2 tbsp
Salt

How to cook Konkani Batate Talasan:

• Peel the potato skin and cut the potatoes into long julienne slices just like fries. Place them in a bowl of water to avoid darkening.
• Pat curry leaves and green chilies dry.
• Heat oil in a kadhai/wok and add mustard seeds, curry leaves and asafetida. After mustard seeds pop, add potatoes (drain the water), lengthwise slit green chilies.  Saute till potatoes soften.
• Add salt, turmeric, grated coconut. Add more coconut if you like. Sauté for 5 more minutes or till potatoes are slightly glazed. Easy quick Batatya Talasaan is ready.
