Onion Potato Palya

Ingredients

• 1 Medium Potato
• 1 Onion
• 2 Tbsp Oil
• Few Cashews
• 1 Tbsp Red chili powder
• Salt to taste

Potatoes and onions are very common items in the kitchen and they are used in many dishes too. Here is one more dish made of both potatoes and onions. Its a curry/palya that can be served with chapatis, poories and even dosa. Its a different version of potato curry then the one usually made for masala dosa.

Method :

• Finely chop onions(I used a blender to make my work easy:) )

• In a microwave safe bowl, add cubed potatoes along with some oil(i used olive oil) and also sprinkle some salt and microwave it for 5mins or until they are cooked(don’t forget to stir them after every minute).

• Meanwhile when potatoes are cooking in microwave, heat a pan with oil. When hot enough add chopped onions and haldi, let it cook for some time(3mins or so), then add chopped cashews and continue cooking until onions turn translucent.
• Once the onions are properly cooked, add cooked potatoes, salt and red chili powder and mix well, let it cook for 2 more minutes.

• Transfer the curry/palya in a serving bowl and its ready to serve with hot chapatis or poories.

Note :

• Potatoes can also be cooked on stove. Take another pan, add 1 Tbsp of oil and potatoes along with salt and cook until potatoes are soft.
• If using roasted cashews then add them when onions are cooked completely so that cashews won’t overcook.
