Ingredients for Batatya Chi Sukki Bhaji Sauteed Potatoes And Bell Pepper

  • 1 lb potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • Red Bell Pepper
  • Green Bell Pepper
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • Cumin Seed
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp salt

How to Make Batatya Chi Sukki Bhaji Sauteed Potatoes And Bell Pepper

  1. Wash and cube 1 lb potatoes. Add to a pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender but firm (about 10-15 minutes).
  2. Drain the potatoes and set aside to cool slightly. Once cool enough to handle, peel and cube the potatoes.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the cubed potatoes with 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp turmeric powder, and 1/2 tsp paprika. Mix well to coat the potatoes evenly.
  4. Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large pan or skillet over medium heat.
  5. Add 1 tsp cumin seeds to the hot oil and stir-fry for a few seconds until fragrant.
  6. Add the seasoned potatoes to the pan and saute for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned.
  7. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are lightly roasted and golden brown, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  8. Add 1 large chopped red bell pepper and 1 large chopped green bell pepper to the pan.
  9. Cook for another 5 minutes, or until the bell peppers are tender-crisp.
  10. Stir gently to combine everything and ensure even cooking.
  11. Remove from heat and serve hot with rotis, bread, puris, or parathas. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
