Potatoes In Chilli Coconut Gravy




I was at a loss about what to do and the lunch hour was coming closer. I wanted to make a very light, easy to cook potato dish and wanted something that takes little time to cook. And suddenly I remembered a dish that my aunt used to make; a native dish with chillies and fresh coconut. That was it! So I made it today and it was an instant hit.
Ingredients :


Potatoes : 250 gm; Fresh Grated Coconut : 150-200 gm;

Green Chillies : 5-6 no; Garlic Cloves : 4-5 no; Ginger : 1 inch;


Turmeric Powder (haldi) : 1/2 Tsp; Onion : 1 no; Oil as required;

Salt to taste; Juice of half a lime; Chopped Coriander : 1Tb.

Method :

Boil potatoes till done and cut into cubes. Finely chop the onion. Make a paste of coconut, chilli, garlic, ginger and turmeric.
In hot oil, saute the onion till translucent. Now add the potatoes, the paste, salt and lime juice and let it cook on low heat for 5-7 minutes. Garnish with chopped coriander.
P.S. Those who are interested can use Kokum(Cocum) instead of the lime juice.
