Mint Potato Subzi

There are certain ingredients that can just dominate in flavor and make it its own dish and rule the pallet :) One such great ingredient is the mighty Mint :) The flavor and smell can just make a simple dish a special one for sure :)

This subzi is my favorite for the very reason mentioned above. Its very simple to make and tastes great with any Indian bread. Just the best I say :)

Ingredients:

Potato - 1/2 kg

Peas - 1/4 kg

Tomato - 2

Mint leaves - 1/2 bunch

Poppy seeds - 2 tblsp

Coconut (Scrapped) - 4 tblsp

Green Chillies - 5

Ginger - 1/2 inch piece

Garlic - 8 pods

Salt - for taste

Method:

Cook and peel potatoes. Dice them into large cubes. Cook peas too. Dice the tomatoes.

Dry roast poppy seeds for two minutes. 

Grind poppy seeds, green chillies, coconut, ginger and garlic together into a smooth paste by adding little water to it. 

Take a pan and add two tblsp of oil, add the tomatoes and fry until soft and mushy. Now add the ground masala paste and fry until raw smell goes.  Then add the potato, peas and mint leaves and mix well. Add salt and allow it to cook in low flame for 8-10 minutes. 

Serve hot with chapathi or any Indian bread :)
