RECIPE STEPS:
For the paste
-
In a blender jar, combine mint leaves, coriander leaves, ginger, green chili, lemon juice and water as required.
-
Blend everything until you get a paste like consistency, once done add it to a large mixing bowl.
For the marinade
-
Now add salt, cumin powder, pepper powder, black salt, red chili flakes and besan.
-
Combine everything to make a marinade, you can add food colour at the stage, if you wish.
-
Pour oil and give it a final stir. Marinade is ready.
-
Add the boiled, peeled baby potatoes followed by the onion shells and mixed three colour capsicums.
-
Give it a good stir, using your hand, mix until all the ingredients are well coated with the marinade.
For the smoke
-
To give the potatoes a smoky flavour, make a small foil plate and keep it in the centre.
-
Place a hot piece of charcoal in the centre, and pour the ghee on top.
-
You will see the smoke, immediately cover the mixing bowl and leave it for 30 minutes.
-
After 30 minutes remove the lid, you will get a very nice tandoori flavour in the potatoes.
For making
-
In a pre-heated non-stick pan, add the potatoes, onion and capsicum pieces one at a time, using a tong.
-
Cook them over high heat until they are charred, drizzle oil as well. Do not use too much oil; we do not want to fry the potatoes.
-
Keep flipping the potatoes as we are cooking over high heat. Once done place them in a serving plate.
serve
-
Serve the Tandoori Aloo with some chat masala, sliced onion and a slice of lemon.
RECIPE NOTES :
Notes: If you do not have baby potatoes then, you can use normal potatoes, boil, peel and cut them into cubes.
