Alu Bath

Ingredients
Potatoes – peeled & cubed
Rice
Salt
Turmeric powder
Cumin seeds
Green chillies – slit
Curry leaves
Asafoetida
Oil

Get Cooking!
1. Wash the rice and drain the excess water. Keep aside.
2. In a little oil, sauté the potatoes till they are golden brown.
3. In a wok, heat a little oil. Add the cumin seeds,some curry leaves,slit green chillies.
4. Toss the potatoes & washed rice in.
5. Add the salt, turmeric powder. Mix everything in.
6. Transfer into a vessel and pressure the rice.

Tips
You could add some roasted peanuts and/or cashew nuts to the rice. One could reduce the green chillies and add red chilli powder instead.  This comes out great if the rice is open cooked instead of pressure cooking it – though pressure cooking is good too :) Sometimes, I like to cut the potatoes like french fries and fry them up before making this rice (yummy ;) ) Basmati rice works good or any long grain rice can be used.
