Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon cooking oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds jeera
  • 1 large onion finely chopped
  • 6 green chillies 3 spicy, 3 mild - lightly roasted
  • 1 whole garlic bulb peeled and lightly roasted
  • 1/4 teaspoon cumin seeds extra for crushing with chillies
  • 1 medium potato boiled, peeled, and chopped into small cubes
  • 1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder haldi
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt adjust to taste, as papads are naturally salty
  • 3 urad dal papads fried
  • 3 tablespoons roasted peanuts coarsely crushed
  • 1/2 cup fresh coriander leaves finely chopped

Instructions
 

  • Step 1: Prepare the spicy base by crushing the roasted green chillies, roasted garlic, and 1/4 teaspoon of cumin seeds in a mortar and pestle to make a coarse paste.
  • Step 2: Heat the cooking oil in a heavy-bottomed iron pan (tawa) over medium heat.
  • Step 3: Add 1/2 teaspoon of cumin seeds and the chopped onion to the hot oil. Sauté until the onion turns golden brown.
  • Step 4: Add your freshly crushed chilli-garlic paste to the pan and mix well for a few seconds until fragrant.
  • Step 5: Stir in the boiled potato cubes, turmeric powder, and salt. Mix everything gently so the spices coat the potatoes perfectly.
  • Step 6: Turn the gas flame down to low to prevent anything from burning.
  • Step 7: Roughly crush the fried urad dal papads with your hands into medium-sized pieces and add them directly to the pan.
  • Step 8: Add the coarsely crushed roasted peanuts and gently toss the Spicy Urad Dal Papad Sabzi for about 1 to 2 minutes on low heat.
  • Step 9: Turn off the heat, garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves, and serve hot!
