*Cumin (jeera) – 1tsp
*Raw mango chopped – ½ cup
*Onion chopped – 2 tbsp
*Baby Potato (boiled) – 2 cups

*Green chilli – 1no
*Turmeric (haldi)- 1 tsp
*Chilli powder (lal mirch) – 2 tsp
*Mango puree ( fresh) – 2 cups
*Black salt – ½ tsp
*Water – 1 cup

For tempering

*Ghee – 2 tbsp
*Kashmiri Chilli Powder – ½ tsp

Method

1. Heat a pan and drizzle oil. Sprinkle heeng, dry red chillies, methi dana, kalonji, mustard seeds, cumin and fennel seeds. Stir and add ginger, raw mango and onions. Cook them for 2 minutes and then drop in the boiled and peeled baby potatoes.
2. Sprinkle salt, cook them for 3 minutes and then add the green chilli turmeric, chilli powder and give it a quick toss. Add the freshly made mango puree/pulp and let it cook till the curry thickens. Sprinkle black salt and then add water. Bring to a quick boil and simmer for a minute.
3. Check for the taste and seasoning and correct it. The flavours will come alive when there is a balance between sweet and sour, so taste the curry and if you think that it needs more sweetness then add some sugar and if it needs more sourness you can add more chopped raw mangoes or add little dried mango powder (amchur). Turn off the heat and keep it aside.
4. In a fresh pan heat ghee and add chilli powder and then immediately add it to the potatoes. Mix in this tempering of ghee and chillies and then remove it to a serving dish and serve it hot with roti, paratha or rice.

Enjoy!
