my mom's speciality...a hot favorite in the house....pretty easy to make.
i dunno why this thing is called parnami alu....parnamis are a sect of hindu people who worship krishna...they are vegetarians...so maybe it was a dish invented by these people...or maybe it is just something they all liked..my mom learnt it from one of the maids who was a parnami...so maybe thats y its called parnami alu....i dunno wat the reason is...the thing is it is nice...and we all love it.
ok then lets get started...
the things you need...ok the amounts i am giving is a rough estimation..for maybe 3 or 4 people
big long potatoes...1/2 kg
mustard seeds...roasted and crushed . it it should be just crushed...nothing more...
cumin seed...roasted and crushed...similar to mustard seed...mix the two spices in equal amounts and take 5 tablespoon of the mixed thing (this is like i said a very rough estimation...cuz i dunno how much potatoes will be there in 1/2 kg potatoes...the general idea is that for every 2 large potatoes add one tbsp of this mixture and yes i know thats a LOT...but still thats how much you need
lemon juice....from 4 lemons (so that the dish is pretty sour)
chilli pepper...around 10 slit into half
oil
salt to taste
yes i know the proportions seem to be all like 'a little too much'...but thats how this dish is....everything to the extreme...thats why though i said 'salt to taste' make sure u add a little extra cuz then all types of taste buds will be utilized. equally.
ok so this is what you do with all these things
wash and slit the potatoes longitudinally.each potato to be slit into 6 pieces.boil the potatoes in a open vessel so that they are just cooked...dont overcook it.keep the peel on...and cut and boil (and not boil and cut).
take some oil in a veseel and heat it.add the chillie pepper and stir for about 1 minute.then add the potatoes and cook it for sometime.add a pinch of turmeric.stir.then add the cumin seed mustard seed mixture.stir.add salt.stir.finally add the lemon juice.stir it thoroughly so that every potato slice is coated uniformly with equal amount of everything that is added.
i know i have written a lot of 'stir'....but when you stir do it carefully...else the already cooked potato will break.
serve hot
yummmmmmmm.
