Recipe
1
Heat mustard oil in a heavy-bottomed iron pan until it smokes slightly, then reduce the heat.
2
Add the asafoetida and Jakhiya seeds, allowing them to crackle and release their earthy aroma.
3
Toss in the dry red chillies and the cubed boiled potatoes.
4
Sprinkle turmeric powder, coriander powder, red chilli powder, and salt directly over the potatoes.
5
Sauté the potatoes on medium-low heat, stirring gently, until they develop a golden-brown, slightly crisp exterior.
6
Garnish the hot Aloo Ke Gutke with freshly chopped coriander leaves and set aside.
7
In a separate bowl, combine the whisked yogurt, grated radish, roasted cumin powder, black salt, and a pinch of regular salt.
8
Mix the raita thoroughly and serve it chilled alongside the warm, spiced Kumaoni potatoes.
