A "ONEPOT1DER RECIPE"©
- qrtr. teasp. each of crushed black pepper, cumin powder, turmeric powder plus a pinch each of salt, coriander powder and amchoor (mango powder).
- 1.5 cups pumpkin diced to 1cm cubes
- 0.5 cup of peas (fresh popped from pod – frozen if you have no other choice)
- 0.5 cup carrot diced to 1cm cubes
- 1 cup potato diced to 1cm cubes (or add leftover mash or use good quality dried**)
Put all
veges to boil in sufficient water to cover but not drown. Cover the pan and
keep an eye on the water level. Veges should soften to mashing point and still
have a little liquid left.
Drain the juice (nutritious!) and put aside the
veges.
In warm pan put half teasp ghee/butter and as it softens add the masala
to temper it. Add back the stock (but not more than two tablespoonsful) and
allow this to integrate well, then add back the veges and mash the lot
together.
Serves one
person as a full meal on its own, or two with a side salad.
**Here in
Mumbai of all places I have discovered THE BEST packet potato I have ever
eaten. “Aloo Mash” (aloo just means potato) is truly delicious – created with
Dutch technology. (Of course.) Made to directions, you’d be hard-pressed to tell
the difference. Just thought I’d let you know that…
Interesting merger of culinary traditions.
ReplyDeleteBut I have to admit that this week I have been looking a cooking utensils with an eye to their hard hat potential for Bertie!
