Trivia Tadka

Aloo Bhaja is a traditional Bengali recipe that is similar to the regular fried potatoes. It is part of daily meals at Bengali homes and goes well with dals.

  • Yellow mustard oil (sarson ka tel) (6 tbsp)

Method

  • Peel and cut the potatoes into thin strips and keep them soaked in water for about an hour.

  • Now, add in salt and the MTR Haldi/Turmeric Powder and mix well. Keep aside for 5 minutes.
  • Heat oil in a non-stick pan. Toss in the jeera and then add the potato strips.
