Tilwale Aloo
by Tarla Dalal

What a brilliant way to cook baby potatoes! Sautéing the baby potatoes with regular flavour enhancers like green chilli, ginger and a traditional tempering helps the flavour to seep into the potatoes, while a seasoning of roasted sesame seeds and a dash of lemon juice adds to its intensity, making it a thrilling addition to the day’s menu.

Enjoy the Tilwale Aloo hot and fresh to enjoy the crispness of the roasted sesame seeds. Serve with Phudine ki Roti , Dal Amritsari and Gajar da Achaar .
