Sesame & Curd Potatoes

It's Makar Sankranti today, the first festival of New Year.... & like everyone else I wanted to make something with Til (sesame)...but not something sweet...so here it is...a very simple recipe :)

Ingredients

3/4 kg baby potatoes (boiled & peeled)

2/3 cups hung curds

1/3 cups toasted sesame paste (or 2 tsp tahini paste)

2 green chillies, minced

3 cloves garlic (optional)

1/2 tsp oil

Salt to taste

Red chilli flakes to taste

1/2 tsp roasted sesame to garnish 

Method

Cut potatoes in half & keep aside.

Mix well curds, chillies, garlic & sesame or tahini paste. Beat well to form a batter like consistency.

Place a non-stick pan on medium flame & brush it with 1/2 tsp oil.

Arrange potatoes in a single layer on pan.

Spoon the curd mixture over potatoes & make sure all of them are evenly covered.

Allow cooking until moisture evaporates completely (about 10 min).

You can turn them of once to get that golden & crusty look on both sides.

Sprinkle chilli flakes & roasted sesame.

Serve hot with toothpicks.

Tips

You can bake it in oven till the moisture has dried & potatoes are golden & crusty.
