Next, add tamarind pulp, sugar & a splash of hot water, cook for 3-4 minutes or until the raw smell of tamarind goes away.
Lower the flame & add all the powdered spices along with salt & a splash of hot water, stir well & then cook over high flame until the oil gets separated.
Further add the cut potato pieces & coat them with the prepared masala, taste & adjust salt if required & add fresh coriander. Your delicious Mumbai style Chatpata Laal Batata is ready.
