If you were to ask me what my favourite vegetable in this whole world is, I can say without a second thought that it is chinese potato (കൂര്ക്ക).
But here in the US, we get only frozen ones and even then it's tough to get good ones. It is better to start with uncooked ones (this is because the cooked ones are usually cooked without salt or anything) and then cook it with salt and turmeric powder.
Difficulty level: Easy
Preparation time: 15-20 min
Cooking time: 10 min
Makes: 2-3 servings
Ingredients:
Cooked chinese potato: 2 cups(cooked with salt and 1/4 tsp turmeric powder)
Turmeric powder: a pinch
Chilli powder: 2 tsp
Chopped shallots/ onions: 1/2 cup
Oil: 1 tbsp
Curry leaves: a few (optional)
Green chillies: 2 or 3.split in half(optional)
Salt: to taste
Heat 1/2 tbsp oil in a skillet and saute the onion until light brown. Add the turmeric powder and chilli powder and saute for 2 min. Add the curry leaves (and green chillies if you decide to add them) and saute for 1 min. Then add the chinese potato and mix everything well. Drizzle the rest of 1/2tbsp oil and allow to cook on a low flame to get it nice and crisp. Serve hot with rice.
