2-tbsp coriander-cumin seed powder,

1-tbsp red chilli powder,

8-9 cloves garlic,

1-small piece ginger,

Salt to taste.


* Crush all material of paste in mixer until smooth paste.


Method:
Step 1: Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly, pierce them with a fork.

Step 2: Place the potatoes all around the circumference of the microwave dish. Place a glass of the water in the center of the dish to prevent the potatoes from getting wrinkled.

Step 3: Microwave on High for 5 to 6 minutes until the potatoes are soft.

Step 4: Heat the oil in a microwave bowl.

Step 5: Add the prepared paste and mix well. Microwave on high for 1 minute.

    Excellent and easy recipe, love you step by step photos. I have to try this soon. I remember eating a gujrati snack (not dhokla or pital or handvoh), which was made by stirring besan with some spices directly on gas. Very yummy, any ideas what that is called?
    Thanks for continuing to post such great recipes. Love them all, Meghana

    Hi Meghana,

    I read your comment but you say about ingredient for those gujrati snacks which is made by basan.....so I have some idea. If only by besan like Roti then we call it as “Pudala”.
