Piro Jeera Aloo (Hot cumin potatoes)

Posted on July 11, 2024 | Leave a comment

Hello everyone! Today, I’m excited to share with you a super simple and delicious recipe using just potatoes and some spices. It’s perfect for those days when your pantry is running low. Let’s get started! 

Ingredients:

• Potatoes : 1/2 kg
• Turmeric powder : 1/2 teaspoon
• Chili powder : 1 teaspoon
• Cumin seeds : 1/2 teaspoon
• Chili flakes : 1 teaspoon
• Oil : 2 teaspoons
• Water : as required


First, we’ll start by boiling the potatoes. I like to use a pressure cooker for this, but you can use any method you prefer. Make sure the potatoes are not overcooked.

Once the potatoes are boiled, peel and cut them into bite-sized pieces. Now, let’s make a spice paste. In a bowl, add some turmeric powder and chili powder. Add a little water and mix well to form a paste. Set this aside.

Next, take a pan and heat some oil. When the oil is hot, add some cumin seeds and chili flakes. Wait until they turn brown.

Now, add the spice paste we made earlier and fry for a few minutes.

Add the boiled potatoes and mix everything well. Cover the pan and let it cook for a few minutes so all the spices blend perfectly.

And there you have it! Our delicious Piro Jeera Aloo is ready. Enjoy it with rice, Chiura (beaten rice), or roti.

Thank you for joining me today. I hope you try this recipe and love it as much as I do. Don’t forget to like, share, and subscribe for more delicious recipes. See you next time

Dhido

Posted on April 21, 2017 | 4 comments

Dhido is a traditional and very popular food in Nepal. It is an everyday food for many people in rural Nepal. I have eaten dhido only once before and it was made out of maze flour. Today I am sharing the recipe of dhido, made of buckwheat flour and millet flour, which I learnt recently from my friend.

Generally dhido can contain any grain as long as it is ground into flour.

Ingredients

  • 1 liter water
  • 100 gm buckwheat flour
  • 150 gm Millet flour
  • 20ml ghee (optional)

Method

  • In a large pot, bring water to a boil.

  • Add 50 gm of millet flour to the water, while stirring continuously.

  • Now add the rest of millet flour and then the buckwheat flour stirring continuously. You need to keep stirring the mixture constantly for 7-10 minutes so the dhido is not lumpy. It is a good workout for the arms for sure.

  • It is cooked when color turns to dark brown.
  • Server with your favorite curry or dal with a dash of ghee.

Eating dhido

Dhindo is eaten by first making a small ball with the fingers, dipping it in the curry or dal and some ghee and then swallowing it. It is not chewed at all.

Hope you will try this easy recipe soon. Till next time, take care
