Pudinawala dum aloo

One of the things I really loved as a kid. Not sure if my mother invented it, or if she learnt it from someone, but this is one dish that never fails to bring back happy memories. It was even one of the dishes I had asked her to cook for me during my Board Exams.

Scrub the dirt off baby potatoes, boil, peel and keep aside.
Thoroughly wash one bunch each of mint and coriander leaves, and pluck the leaves.
Grind/ blend the leaves together with two green chillies (washed), 1 tsp zeera and 1/2 tsp ajwain seeds till smooth. Squeeze the juice of 1/2 lime, add salt to taste and keep aside.
In a pan, temper zeera in oil, add the peeled baby potatoes and the ground green paste.
Cook on low heat till it releases water, and the water evaporates.
Serve with rotis.
