Notes
- We can cook the potatoes in open pan with lots of water. We can cook flipping the potatoes in regular intervals till the skin becomes dark and then we can check if the potato is cooked and remove and peel the skin. This way the potatoes will be little firmer than pressure cooking and we would be able to grate the cooked potato.
- Instead of ginger we can add Hing / Asafetida
- We can add juice of 1 teaspoon lemon juice after switching off the flame. Adding lemon juice is optional and if we like a little tangy taste with potato we can add it
