00:00 Get ready for a burst of Gujarati flavours
00:02 as we explore the art of making Lasaniya Batata.
00:05 Now let's turn on the flame and deep fry them.
00:08 So I'm going to start with frying some potatoes.
00:11 I have 200 gms of baby potatoes here
00:14 that I have pressure cooked, peeled and cut them into half.
00:18 Drop them in oil.
00:19 Fry them till golden brown.
00:26 These seem to be done. Let's get them out.
00:29 Boil a pot of water.
00:39 I have some Madras onions here that I have peeled.
00:43 If you don't get Madras onions,
00:45 you can even take one large onion and cut it lengthwise.
00:49 So what I'm going to do is,
00:51 I'm just going to take a small piece of onion
00:54 and I'm just going to bash them up.
00:57 Just bash them lightly.
01:00 I particularly use these onions
01:03 because I like them coming in the bite.
01:05 The water has come to a boil.
01:09 Drop in 2 tomatoes.
01:11 I have 4 Kashmiri chillies that I have deseeded.
01:15 Boil them as well.
01:17 The skin has started to peel.
01:21 Turn off the flame.
01:23 Let's get them out.
01:24 Let them slightly cool down
01:31 and then we're going to grind this into a puree.
01:34 Once they're slightly cooled down,
01:37 add them in the blender.
01:38 Peel the tomato skin.
01:40 Let's grind this into a puree.
01:47 All the prep is done.
01:50 Let's start cooking.
01:52 Turn on the flame.
01:53 Heat 2 tbsp of Oil.
01:57 Once the oil is nice and hot,
01:59 add in a Bay Leaf,
02:00 a piece of Cinnamon and 2 Cloves.
02:03 1/4 tsp Hing or Asafoetida.
02:06 I've taken 100 gms of Green Garlic Cloves here that I've pounded.
02:10 Just in case it's not in season or not available,
02:13 you can always add 10-12 cloves of Garlic.
02:17 A few Curry Leaves.
02:18 Saute the Garlic for a few seconds.
02:22 Let's add in 4 Green Chillies, finely chopped.
02:25 The Madras Onions.
02:27 Saute them for a few seconds.
02:29 Let's add in the Tomato and the Chilli Puree.
02:36 Cook the Tomato Puree for at least a good 6-7 minutes.
02:40 Add in a tsp of Garam Masala.
02:46 1/2 tsp of Amchur or Raw Mango Powder.
02:50 You could even add a tbsp of Tamarind Pulp if you wish.
02:54 Pinch of Turmeric Powder.
02:55 A tsp of Kashmiri Red Chilli Powder.
02:58 A big pinch of Sugar.
03:01 Mix all the ingredients and cook till the moisture dries out.
03:05 Add in some Water and bring it to a boil.
03:09 Let's add in some Green Garlic Leaves.
03:17 Salt to taste.
03:19 Add in the Potatoes.
03:21 Give it a stir.
03:26 Cover and let it cook for around 5 minutes on low heat.
03:31 Let's check on this.
03:33 This veggie is ready.
03:38 Let's add in the finishing touches which is of course Coriander Leaves.
03:42 Do try this vegetable with some Biscuit Bhakris, Chapatis or Pooris.
03:47 I am sure you are going to enjoy it.
03:49 Till the Green Garlic season is there, do give this a try.
