Aloo Pawtol






This is a Bangla staple and one of my favorite dishes.I was introduced to this dish by my husband and  we have been cooking it fairly regularly ever since.It is a very easy recipe and goes well with dal roti.

Ingredients:
Parwal (Potol) 5-6 peeled and cut in rings
Potato 4 chopped
turmeric 1 tsp
red chilli powder 1/2 tsp (optional)
cumin seeds 1 tsp (optional)
mustard oil 1tsp
water 1/4 cup
salt to taste

Method:
1.Heat the mustard oil to smoking point.Add the cumin seeds,turmeric and red chilli powder.
2.Add the potatos and parwal.
3.Mix well.Add the salt and water.Cover and cook for 25mins (stir after every 5mins to avoid burning).
   Serve hot.
