Instructions
Heat 3-4 tbsp Cooking Oil in a Pan. Fry Potato and Yam cubes on high heat. We have fried Yam and Potatoes for 5-6 mins on high heat. The surface of yam becomes light brown and crisp. Potatoes are almost cooked and yam are half cooked.
Remove from pan.
In the same pan, now we will start making Suran Masala. Add 1 more
tbsp Cooking Oil. Add Mustard Seeds, Cumin Seeds, Asafoetida Powder, Fenugreek Seeds and sliced Onions. Fry until Onions become light brown in color. Fry on medium heat for 5-6 mins.
Add Ginger-Garlic paste. Fry on medium heat for 2-3 mins to get rid of its raw smell.
Now we will add dry spice powder. Add Turmeric Powder, Red Chili Powder, dry Coriander Powder and
Garam Masala Powder. Cook all the ingredients. Add some water when masala becomes dry.
We have cooked masala until Oil begins to ooze out. Reduce heat and now add whisked Curd. Remember to reduce the heat before adding curd. Whisk well. Cook for couple of mins on low heat.
We have cooked on low heat for 3 mins. We can see Oil floating on top. Mix well. Add fried Yam and Potato cubes. Add Salt to taste, some Coriander leaves and mix well.
Cook on medium heat for couple of mins. After 2 mins of cooking, add ¼th cup water and mix well. Cover and cook on low heat.
We have covered and cooked Suran Masala for 10 mins. Uncover now. Yam and Potatoes are cooked well.
Switch off the heat and serve hot
Suran Masala is relished with Phulkas and Parathas. Pack it for your office lunch and your colleagues will be impressed.
