Nepali Til Aloo

Everytime I make this dish, its a "hit". Its like those mothers recipes that get passed on to daughters. Its si simple, yet the moment you have the first bite, the flavours hit your palate like a bomb. Beware - Only for people with a knack for spicy and tangy food.

Boiled Potatoes cut into big pieces and cooled. 1/2 kg.
Til ( Sesame seeds ) Tawa roasted and half the quantity ground. 1big tbsp.
Lemon juice. 2tbsp.

For the tempering - tadka-

Fenugreek seeds. 1 pinch.
Oil. 1/2 tbsp
Deghi Mirch. 1tsp
Haldi. 1tsp.
Green chillies split from middle. 3-4 optional.


Put the boiled, cut and cooled potatoes in a broad dish. Sprinkle dhania powder, chilly powder, salt. Mix properly. Now add the lemon juice and mix more. Sprinkle the ground sesame seed powder on top and mix more.Make the tempering, let it cool. Add to the potatoes. Garnish with cilantro or coriander leaves. Serve cold with dal and rice or as salad.
