I should not be surprised as typically Rajasthani Cuisine is rustic in nature and tends to wow us with its simplicity and the clever use of spices that never fails to tickle our palates.

This month my partner for Blog Hop Wednesdays is Vaishali and needless to say that I not only love that lady for her zest for life but her blog too as her posts are so informative and full of knowledge that she shares from her various travels.

The original jodhpuri aloo recipe called for amchur powder (Dried mango powder) to bring in the tangy flavor. But since I did not want the dish to be dry and wanted it to be a bit saucy and the spices to coat well on the baby potatoes, I used 1 tbsp of tamarind extract.

It worked out perfectly. The tamarind juice not only added the much needed tanginess but also prevented the whole dish from darkening a bit which would have a happened if I had added amchur powder.

Though the recipe is very simple, you need to be careful while roasting the spices, taking care not to burn them and cooking over low flame. If you burn the spices, the taste of the entire dish will be ruined.

Jodhpuri Aloo recipe with step by step pictures:

1. Pressure cook baby potatoes in enough water. Peel the skin and keep aside. If some potatoes are too big, just cut them into half and keep aside.

2. Heat oil in a thick bottomed pan. Add asafetida, cumin seeds, fennel seeds, broken whole red chilli, white sesame seeds and let them roast for few seconds.

3. Add potatoes, chilli flakes, coriander powder, red chili powder, turmeric powder, salt and toss well.

4. Add tamarind extract, keep tossing and and cook for 2 min over low flame. Jodhpuri Aloo is ready.

5. Take off the stove, garnish with coriander leaves and serve hot with rice.
