Potato and Peas Sagu

Veggies I used:

Potato's - 2 medium sized
Peas - 1 small cup

For Gravy:

Coconut : 2 heaped tabsp (dry/wet)
Hurikadale/dalia : 1 tbsp
Sambhar Pudi: 2 tsp (adjust according to your taste)
Coriander Powder : 2 tsp (roasted coriander seeds powder)
White Sesame seeds : 1.5 tsp (roasted)
Tamarind Juice : 2 tbsp
salt

For Tadka:
Oil - 2 tbsp
Mustard
Turmeric : one pinch
Curry leaves

Wash Potatoes and cube them. I had kept the potato skin intact. Pressure cook potato cubes, peas and salt with enough water. 3 whistles were enough to cook potatoes and peas. Blend all the ingrediants for gravy, use the stock water from potato and peas and make a thick paste. Keep it aside. Do tadka, and add the blended paste and fry the paste for about 30 sec. You can see the paste changing its color. When it starts turning dark brown add boiled peas and potatoes and mix well. Cover cook the mixture for 4 -5 mins. Check for salt and spice levels. Remove from fire and garnish with coriander. Serve hot.

Tip: Add enough water while cooking potatoes and peas and use stock water for grinding, making up volume etc.

Qty : Serves two hungry people.
