Ghee Roast Batatambade

Ghee Roast Batatambade

Potato is something which goes well with most of the masalas and tastes amazing. So this time I tried to pair it with Ideal Ghee Roast Masala to create Ghee Roast Batatambade. This combination of 2 of Mangalores famous food items – Batatambade and Ghee roast tastes really good. It tastes even better when it’s wrapped in a news paper and banana leaf just like how it is served in our iconic carts in Mangalore.

Below are the ingredients required for the preparation –
1. Oil – 3tsp
2. Mustard – 1/2tsp
3. Curry leaves – 3-4 strands
4. Urad dal – 2tsp
5. Ideal ghee roast paste – about 3 spoon
6. Potatoes – about 5 medium sized
7. Coriander leaves
8. Salt

9. Gram flour – about 1cup
10. Water – about 1/2 cup
11. Salt to taste
12. Hing powder – 1/2 tsp
13. baking soda – 1/4tsp

Method of preparation:

  4. Keep the tawa on gas on medium heat,and place the buttered side on tawa.
  5. Now place the cut veggies and arrange them.
  6. Place a slice of cheese. I first placed one slice but then I had normal bread and not sandwich bread so next one onwards I placed half slice.
  7. Now take another slice and apply butter to one side n chutney to other.
  8. Keep the chutney applied side on the sandwich.
  9. Now press it properly
