Today is Kartik Ekadashi. So I am fasting today. Suddenly I remembered to make this potato khees which can eaten on fasting days. This is Maharashtrain dish. Enjoy!!





Ingredients

2 Medium sized potato
2 Green Chilies
1 tbsp ghee
1tsp Cumin seeds
¼ Cup Roasted Peanut Powder
Salt to taste
½ Tsp Sugar(optional)
1 Tsp Lemon Juice(optional)
2 Tbsp Cilantro for Garnishing

Method

1) Wash and peel potatoes. Grate the potatoes and put immediately into cold water.
2) In a wok, heat 1 tbsp Ghee. Add ½ tsp Cumin seeds and Chopped green Chilies.
3) Remove all the water from grated potatoes by squeezing it by hands and add it to the wok. Stir fry on medium heat. Cover the wok and let the potato cook. After 3-4 minutes add roasted peanuts powder. Stir in between.
4) Add salt and sugar. Don’t add water; let the potato cook on the steam.
5) Once potatoes are done, the dish is ready for serving. Sprinkle cilantro, add lemon juice. Serve with Sweet Lime Pickle.
