Potato Ishtu by Vijayalakshmi

Ingredients,
potato-2-3
Onion-1(slice it)
coconut milk
ginger-cut lengthy into thin strips (dont chop)
curry leaves
green chillies(slit)
coconut oil
Method:
Pressure cook potatoes and mash it..not very smoothly,but into big chunks.
Take a kadai,add coconut oil,green chillies,curry leaves,onion and ginger.saute till the onions turns transparent{now itself u can get an superb smell...}then put the potato chunks to it and add the 2nd milk of coconut,then let it boil slightly,once boil add the first milk,leave for 1min,till u can see slight froth coming from sides,switch of the stove immedietely..dont allow it to boil much.
If u r buying coconut milk,this is how i do,after adding potato just pour little water ,not much just to soak everything and allow it to boil for few minutes and then add the coconut milk we get in can.then switch off wen u see slight froth coming,dont boil too much.
If u r buying cocconut milk pow,for 2nd milk wat i do is take water add lil pow and mw for 10 sec then allow to boil and for first milk,more powder and lil water so they ll be thick
Ishtu will be in a semi solid consitency,it wont be liquid....koncham thick and rich gravy...
hope this helps u...it also go well with sevai....
