Prep Time: 5 min | Cook Time: 45 min | Total Time: 50 min

Serves: 2-3 people

Ingredients:

9 medium-sized potatoes

2-3 tbsp oil

2 tbsp Bengali bhaja moshla/masala

Salt to taste

Method:

To boil the potatoes in a pot/pan:

Add the potatoes to a large pot. Make sure all the potatoes are roughly the same in size.

Fill the pot with water. The potatoes should be fully submerged. There should be at least one inch of water above the potatoes.

Heat the pot over a medium-high flame and bring it to a boil.

Once it comes to a boil, lower the flame to medium. Allow the potatoes to cook for a few minutes.

After 7-8 minutes, start checking the potatoes. You can take a knife or skewer and poke the potatoes. If it slides easily all the way to the centre, then the potatoes are cooked.

Note: Whole potatoes may take around 20-30 minutes to cook. And if you are cooking chopped/cubed potatoes then they will take approximately 10-15 minutes.

Drain the potatoes and allow them to cool down completely at room temperature.

Peel them and cut them into large cubes.

Tip: To save time, boil the potatoes in a pressure cooker.

To make Bengali Bhaja Moshla Aloo:

Heat oil in a non-stick pan over a medium flame.

Once the oil heats up, add the chopped potatoes and let them cook undisturbed for a couple of minutes.

As the potatoes are already cooked, so avoid stirring them for the first few minutes, otherwise, they might break.

Continue cooking them until the bottom side of the potatoes become crisp and golden.

Then gently flip all the potatoes and cook the other side as well.

Once all the potatoes become golden in colour, add salt and give them a good toss.

Turn the flame off and add Bengali bhaja moshla/masala. Mix well.
