Karva chauth and Traditional recipe....

Being an Indian wife I am celebrating  important day of my married life and cheerfully fasting all day for well being  of my husband.Its different and gives you immense pleasure for selflessly praying to God for best wishes.
I am excited and would end my day after moon shines in the sky and blesses us for another year.So festive mood and food go together.I would be sharing a traditional recipe to mark the day.
The recipe is common in Northen Indian households and is simple yet special.I am sharing a potato curry recipe which goes well with poori(deep fried wheat flour)The recipe goes for non garlic and non onion fasting ones!!!
Ingredients:
1)4 potato  boiled and peeled
2)2 Tomatoes finely chopped
3)1inch of Ginger scrapped and finely chopped
4)Green chillies sliced
5)Green coriander for garnishing
6)Dry masala powders-Hing(asafoetida 1 pinch),Turmericpowder,Jeera seeds for tempering,Dry Coriander tablespoon,Jeera powder 1/2 tablespoon,Red chilli as per taste,saunf(fennel)powder1/2 tablespoon,Amchur powder(dry mango)as per taste
7)Salt to taste
8)Desi ghee/Butter is preferred for cooking
9)Curd for thickening the gravy 1/2 cup

We begin with tempering in a kadhai  (pan).Add ghee and once hot add hing and jeera.Add all dry masala powders except amchur and into add tomatoes chopped,further add ginger,green chillies and roast the mixture till oil leaves onto the surface.Now we will add potates which we have peeled and break with our hands in kadhai.Mix the additions and then put salt.We would add water mixed with curd and let the  gravy boil for 10 minutes. For final touches add amchur powder and green coriander.
This goes very well with kaddu (pumpkin)ki sabzi , poori and kachori.This recipe serves two adults.
Traditional north Indian platter is incomplete without this recipe.So have a great day and remember good olden days of our grandmother cooking....
