FARALI BATETA PEANUTS RECIPE
In this Vrat wale aloo peanuts recipe, boiled potatoes are stir-fried with roasted peanuts, cumin, and few basic Indian spices – an ideal recipe for fasting. The Hindu calendar is full of festivities, and there are certain days or months where Hindus observe fasts. Also some people consume regular food which contains no onion garlic instead of fasting food during fasting season.
WHY MAKE THIS RECIPE?
● Peanuts – use red peanuts that are roasted. Peanuts are also called singdana or moongphali in different parts of India thus this recipe also known as Moongphali Aloo Ki Sabji or Moongphali Ki Sabji as well. ● Crushed ginger and green chillies – the smell of freshly crushed chilli-ginger is just incredible! ● Oil – use a light oil such as sunflower or peanut or ghee as this recipe as farali ● Curry leaves – they taste delicious and are apparently good for your hair … win win! ● Cumin seeds – used in the tempering or vaghar ● Indian spices – we have used turmeric powder only. You could add a little red chilli powder, ground cumin and coriander should you wish. Skip turmeric powder if you do not consume during fasting. ● Sugar – a sprinkle of sugar is so wonderful, especially combined with the lemon juice ● Lemon juice – use fresh lemon juice wherever possible but you can also use bottled ● Salt – use sendha namak as this salt s farali. Sendha Namak is also known as pink salt. ● Freshly chopped coriander – to serve don’t skip it! Place potatoes in the inner pot, add water. Close the lid. Choose HIGH PRESSURE and select 7 minutes, turn the safety valve to sealing position. After 15 minutes NPR open the lid, remove cooked potatoes, peel the skin and cut in to cubes.
