Pudina Aloo/Minty Potatoes


Easter was totally a blessed one with our entire family here that called for a massive cooking. Now Kitchen is undoubtedly the most busiest part of the house with clinging pots and pans, kitchen drawers opening and shutting down, and lots of food on the kitchen counter. Every corner of the kitchen is being used and Moms are on a mission to give a clean sweep to my overstocked pantry. I am currently playing the role of a taste tester and less of a chef. Even Abbey is into full fledged cooking with frying pans and wooden spatula in the living room.



Coming back to minty potatoes, this was a fabulous side dish. The looks were quite deceiving like Easter eggs. We paired it with  Jeera rice, Shahi paneer, and was absolutely tasty. I believe it will go well with beef chops/lamb chops with the minty texture. The measurements were so accurate by the author and everyone in the family loved it. Try this for your next potluck ......

  1. Good, good and all the way good. I can't find mango powder over here, I think we don't have such an ingredient over at my place. Wondering if I can replace with a drizzle of lime juice? Assuming it should be ok.

    We love such dishes because any potato dishes are never enough. Let me gather the ingredients for this weekend and than served with sambar and fish sambal.
