Sukha Bateta Nu Shaak

Ingredients

1kg potatoes, peeled and diced into 1 inch cubes, then boiled in salted water until tender, drain
3 tbsp ghee
2 tsp whole cumin seeds
6 curry leaves
¼ tsp asafoetida (optional)
2 tsp green chilli, or to taste
3 tsp ginger, minced
10-15 whole cashew nuts
3 tbsp concentrated tomato purée
¼ tsp turmeric
3 tbsp chopped coriander
2 tbsp lemon juice
2 tsp sugar
1 tsp ground black pepper
Salt to taste

Method

1. Heat the ghee in a large non-stick pan, add the cumin seeds, ginger, chillies, curry leaves, asafoetida and cashew nuts. Sauté for a couple of minutes until aromatic and the cashews become golden. Add the tomato puree and turmeric and cook for a further 2 minutes.

2. Add the boiled potatoes, reserving around 6-7 pieces. Mix gently and cook on a low heat. Meanwhile, mash the reserved potato cubes and mix into the rest of the potato curry. Cook on a very low heat for another 8-10 minutes, avoiding too much mixing. Add the salt, sugar, lemon, coriander and black pepper and remove from the heat.

Ingredients:

• 3 cups gram/chickpea flour (besan)
• 400 gm Sweetened condensed milk (1 can)
• 2 tbsp milk
• 1 cup ghee or butter
• Dry fruits for garnishing

Combine milk and besan in a thali and keep it for half an hour.
Heat ghee in a pan and roast besan on low flame for 12 minutes.
Add the condensed milk and cook for 15 minutes, stir constantly until the mixture thickens.
Remove the mixture from fire and place in a greased plate and garnish it with dry fruits.
Cut into desired shapes when cool.

this was absurdly delicious. two sticks of butter. the consistency is difficult to describe but is very like fudge. creamy? melty? it tastes nothing like chickpeas and is not overly sweet. highly recommended. our house ate 3/4 of a pan full in twelve hours.
