Am starting today the last and fourth week of blogging marathon of this month with a beautiful theme, cooking with cookbooks. Seriously before blogging, i never referred or cooked from a cookbook,to be honest i never bought cookbooks at all,obviously my book shelf will have only few cartoon and story books. I still remember my mom got her first cookbook from her MIL when i was almost 10years old and this cookbook travelled with us for a long. One day while shifting we lost my grandma's cookbook and we never tried our hands in buying an another cookbook or cooking from a cookbook.Sometimes my mom used to gather few supplements from some monthly tamil magazine but somehow she never cooked from them too.
When i saw this theme, i really want to try few dishes from the cookbook i have won through many events i have participated earlier in this virtual world. During my 4 years of blogging, i won a bunch of cookbooks and am really thankful to each and every food bloggers for sending me these beautiful books. Actually i have to say a big thanks to Srivalli for suggesting us this theme, i chosed to cook this khatte aloo from Tarladalal's Punjabi Subzis.This khatte aloo tastes simply awesome as side dish with rotis, the mild sourness of dry mango powder gives a distinct flavour and this dish really goes for an easy breezy preparation.Check out the Blogging Marathon page for the other Blogging Marathoners doing BM#25.
Add the dry mango powder, garam masala powder,coriander powder and cumin powder,cook for few more minutes.
Add now the chopped tomato,some water and cook until the potato gets well coated with the spices.
