(Recipe source)

Ingredients:

7-8 baby potatoes peeled

1/2 cup chopped onion

1/2 tsp cumin powder

1/2 tsp coriander powder

2 tbsp thick curd/yogurt

1-2 tsp chili powder

1 tsp ginger-garlic paste

1 tbsp lemon juice

Oil

Salt to taste

Preparation:

I didn't do any change to the recipe..just followed the steps mentioned by shilpa..

Prick with a fork or put some deep slit marks with a knife on all the potatoes.Grind onions(preferably without water) to a smooth paste. Add onion paste and all other ingredients, except oil to the potatoes and mix well so that the potatoes get a thick coating of potatoes all over. The yogurt should be very thick so that the mixture remains thick.Leave the potatoes for around 1hr. Heat oil in a non stick pan and add the potatoes with the masala. Close the lid and let it cook on a low flame for around 15mins.

Preheat the oven at 350F for around 5mins. Take the potatoes in a greased bake ware and broil at 350F for around 10-15mins(till the coating has turned brownish).Serve hot with lemon juice.

Garnish with coriander leaves..
