Instructions for Konkani Style Batata Song Recipe - Dry Red Chili Potatoes Fry

To begin making the Konkani Style Batata Song, roast the dry red chillies in a pan till it gets crip and changes its colour a bit.

Add it into a mixer along with tamarind, a little water and grind it into a smooth paste.

Heat a pan with oil, add mustard seeds and crackle it for 10 seconds. Add in the ground red chilli paste and fry for at least 10 minutes.

In the meanwhile pressure cook the potatoes with little water and salt to one whistle till it is just cooked. Allow the pressure to release by itself and strain the water.

Peel the potatoes and let it cool down. Cut the potatoes in cubes and keep them aside.

Add the potatoes into the pan in which the gravy is getting sautéed and mix well. Once the gravy is well coated with potatoes, switch off the stove. This will take about 2-3 minutes.
