• 1 tsp chat masala powder
• 2 to 3 Red Onions

• 1 cup of thin sev
• 1/4 tsp Amchur powder

METHOD:

1. Boil the potatoes and peel the skin and cut them into cubes, grate carrots, chop the onions finely, wash and chop coriander leaves finely keep everything ready.
2. Take a wok and add  2 to 3 tbsp of oil and roast these potatoes lightly crispy, mix garlic and ginger paste. fry for 2 more minutes.
3. Add salt, chilli powder, amchur powder, cumin and chat masala powder and mix well.
4. Roast them for 2 more minutes with a closed lid, so that the aloos (potatoes) absorb the masala take them out.
5. Share these in bowls top them with few grated carrots, chopped onions, chopped coriander, and top it with sev and serve with mint chutney, sweet chutney or khara chutney. like down below.
6. Kids loved the Tamarind chutney also called the sweet chutney.

• 100gms -Tamarind size of Lime
• 100gms - Jaggery 1/4 cup
• 7 to 8 Dates 
• 1/4 tsp Cumin powder 
• 1/4 tsp Chilli Powder
• A pinch of  salt 

METHOD:

• Soak Tamarind, Jaggery and dates with 1 to 1 & 1/2 cup of water for an hour, (If you want to make it quick in a microwavable bowl place all the ingredients and microwave for 1 minute). Take out the juice that is extract all the juice and strain the juice and then add salt, chilli powder and jeera powder.
• Boil this in a vessel, and remove it from fire once the chutney starts thickening, Just for this process do not add too much of water.
• If you want you can omit the masala powders in them, they just give a kick to the chutney.., if you are using them for anything else.
• I sometimes make them more and use them in my gravies.
