Making Batata Thecha Chutney

  • In the same hot oil, fry 6 tbsp peanuts, 6–7 green chilies, and 7–8 garlic cloves until slightly golden brown. Remove them onto a plate and let them cool.
  • Now add the fried peanuts, green chilies, and garlic cloves to a mixer jar. Coarsely grind them using pulse mode and keep aside.
  • In a bowl, add the fried potatoes and roughly mash them with your hand. Then add 1 cup chopped onion, the crushed peanut–green chili–garlic mixture, 1 tsp amchur powder, and salt. Mix well.
  • Heat 2 tbsp oil in a tadka pan. Add 1 tsp mustard seeds and sauté. Switch off the gas and add 1 tsp Kashmiri red chili powder and ¼ tsp turmeric powder. Mix well and pour the tempering over the chutney.
  • Add some coriander leaves and 1 tsp lemon juice. Mix well.
  • Batata thecha chutney is ready. Serve with roti, paratha, or khichdi.

Making Potato Dry Chutney

  • In the same hot oil, fry 6 tbsp peanuts until crispy and golden brown. Remove onto a plate.
  • Then fry 20–25 garlic cloves until slightly golden brown. Remove onto a plate.
  • Fry curry leaves until crispy.
