Posted by PicasaDear Friends,
Being alone and busy with your work, you do feel too tired to make a complete meal. You may even break your resolution and go out to your now forgotten eatery. But wait, I have a dish that is very simple, very quick and tasty. This one you may serve with buttered toast, if you so desire.
For this dish you require:
1. 250 gms potato- boiled,peeled and diced to bite size pieces.
2. 04 green fresh chili-sliced lengthwise and seeded, if you so desire.

5. 01 small tomato-diced fine.
6. 01 tps red chili flakes, chat masala, jeera powder, black pepper and salt to taste.
7. 01 fresh lime/lemon (nimbu).
8. 02 tps melted butter/desi ghee/cooking oil.
Method
1. In a wok/kadai, put in the oil or ghee or butter and heat it on slow flame.
2.As soon as the oil heats put in the fresh green chili and fry for just 45 sec. Switch off the stove.
3. Add in all the masala and 1/2 of the fresh coriander stir and dump in the potato. Stir well to cover all of the masala to the potato.Sprinkle salt to taste.
