There are plenty of ways to eat potatoes and how people consume it differ country to country or more precisely community to community. I would like to say that Nepal is the place where people love to make pickle of almost everything. One such vegetable to make a tasty and delicious pickle is Potatoes and carrot. Potatoes and Carrot together as a pickle is perfect combination, for its color and health reason as well.
Ingredients :
Potatoes : 500 grams
carrot : 200 grams
green peas - small : 100 grams - soaked overnight
Lapsi : 100 grams
salt : as per taste
Chili powder : one teaspoon
Hot green chili : 5 nos
dry red chili : 3 nos
green coriander : few leaves [ Optional ]
Sesame : two table spoon
Turmeric powder : half teaspoon
Fenugreek seeds : half teaspoon
Mustard oil : two table spoon
How to convert all these ingredients into a pickle ?
- you should soak peas for over night.
- Clean potatoes and boil it.
- After that keep it aside to cool down.
- Boil lapsi also and let it cool down.
- once potatoes cools down then peel it and then chop one piece into four.
- Clean carrot and chop it in thin and long shape.
- remove the skin and mass lapsi when its still hot, so that you can get the most of the gooey parts out of the pulp.
- then remove the seeds out of it before you put it in the mix of carrot and potatoes.
- Roast sesame seeds and grind it so that you can get its powder. put this also in the bowl of pickle.
- Put salt , chili powder and green chili and then mix everything in the bowl now.
- Heat the oil on the pan and put fenugreek seeds on it.
- When the fenugreek seeds becomes black, put the dry chili on it and then turmeric powder.
- Now pour it over the mixture on the bowl.
- if you like you can sprinkle green coriander on top of it and then serve.
Now your pickle is ready !
