Potato And Peanuts Stir Fry - A Very Simple And Easy Recipe

Stir fry means to cook the food on high heat by stirring constantly. My today's recipe deals with the same. Its Potato and Peanuts Stir Fry.  Its a very simple dish and easy to make. You can also call it a one pot dish. 

Potato And Peanuts Stir Fry 

The potatoes, I have sliced them thin, if you cut them thick it would take long to get cooked. And as you are stir frying them, the high heat would burn the masala by the time the thick sliced potatoes would cook. You have to keep on stirring constantly else the veggies would stick to the pan and hence get burnt. 

I have roasted the peanuts as it adds the crunch to the dish and also enhances the flavor. Do not powder them completely, crush them coarsely to get the crunchy taste. You can do this manually or in a grinder its up to you. I have done it manually over the chopping board with the rolling pin.

For better understanding please check the video below

Ingredients:

2 Potatoes (thin slices)

1/4 cup Peanuts (roasted and coarsely crushed)

2 Green Chillies (sliced)

1 Tomato (chopped)

1 tbsp Ginger Garlic paste

1 tsp Turmeric powder

1/2 tsp Red Chilli powder

1 tsp Cumin (jeera)

2 tbsp Oil

Salt

Coriander for garnishing

Method:

Heat oil in a pan and add cumin (jeera) to it.

heat oil and add cumin (jeera)

When cumin (jeera) turns aromatic add the chopped onion and ginger garlic paste to it. Mix well and saute till it turns light golden in color.

Serve it hot with any bread of your choice. Even puris go well with it. Mix it with rice, would also taste good. 

Potato And Peanuts Stir Fry 

Tips:

The potato slices should not be thick, else it would take long to cook. If very thin, they would break and ruin the entire look of the dish. So they should be appropriate.

Keep on stirring constantly.

How To Make Punjabi Mooli Paratha / Radish Flatbread / The Authentic Punjabi Recipe

Mooli Paratha or we call it in english as Radish Flatbread is a very

famous stuffed paratha from North India, Punjab. It is also a very common breakfast made in almost all the punjabi families. Mooli Paratha is also from the family of stuffed parathas like Aloo Paratha, Gobi Paratha, paneer paratha and so on.

Punjabi Mooli Paratha Recipe

As radish is high in water content, some first fry it and get its juice dried, mix it with the spices and then stuff it in the parathas.

Some like me, I squeeze out the juice from the grated radish, mix in the spices and then proceed towards the stuffing. If the juice is not squeezed out, rolling the paranthas would be very difficult as the parathas would tend to break because of the moisture.

Always remember do not add salt along with the spices in the grated radish. It has to be added once the stuffing is placed on the paratha to be made, that is just before rolling the paratha. Now this is done because as soon as the salt comes in contact with the radish it would again become moist.

Second very important note is to apply oil on your hands before squeezing out the raddish juice. This would prevent any kind of irritation or itching. I always apply mustard oil.

Cook on low to medium heat. Ensure that both the sides are cooked evenly, should be cooked till brown.

Tips:

Cook it on low to medium heat, it would evenly cook and paratha and make it crispy at the same time.

Apply oil on your hands while squeezing out the juice to avoid irritation and itching.

Do not add salt in the stuffing mixture, it would make it moist and hence parathas would break while rolling. Instead sprinkle it on the stuffing after its placed on the paratha.

The squeezed out juice from radish can be used for kneading the dough
