Ingredients

  

• 2 cups chopped spring onions (details of cleaning and chopping is given in the recipe steps)
• 3 medium size potatoes (chop in very small size cubes for faster cooking)
• 1 mexium size tomato chopped
• 2 pieces green chillies chopped (optional OR adjust quantity as per your taste OR can be replaced with chilli powder)

• 1 pinch asafoetida powder

Instructions

 

Cleaning and chopping spring onions

• Remove the top part with roots from all the spring onions.
• Remove thick looking very dark green leaves by pulling them upwards to remove the entire layer of the leaf. Such leaves are overgrown and hence they are difficult to cut/chew.
  
• Remove any unhealthy looking leaves and the tips at the end.
  
• This is how a cleaned spring onion looks like.
  
• Wash and chop them finely. Remove the part that does not get cut (usually the part towards the end is like that)
  

Cooking the stir-fry

• Heat oil in a non-stick pan or a thick bottom pan. Crackle cumin seeds till they are light brown. Add asafoetida powder.
  
• Add turmeric powder and green chillies.
  
• Add potatoes, salt and combine everything. Cover and cook on very low heat till the potatoes are tender ( 90% cooked ). Stir in between to avoid scorching and over cooking. Add spring onions.
  
• Also add tomatoes and chilli powder.
  
• Combine everything well.
  
• Cover and cook tilll the tomatoes and spring onions are tender and the potatoes are fully cooked. Cook without a lid for a minute or two or until the oil oozes.
  
• Serve hot with roti/puri/paratha/rice or enjoy it as a single dish like salad.
