How to go about it if you are cooking for two people.

1. The Potato (2-3 medium to large sized ones)


  • Now take them potatoes, place them inside a pressure cooker. Pour water on them till they are 7/8ths immersed in water.
  • Place the whistle on the cooker and leave it on the gas oven till you hear 3 whistles.
  • Once you hear the whistle. Take the cooker off, wait for the steam to escape.
  • Open the cooker. Take the semi-boiled/ potato peel the skin off of it, cut them in whatever shape takes your fancy.


  • Now heat oil in the pan.
  • Fry the potatoes till a light shade of brown.


2. The Mix


  • In the pan, drain off some of the oil. Because obviously you do not need so much of oil for cooking the mix.
  • Add finely chopped onions and fry till golden brown. (you'll need 2 medium sized onions)
  • Add the finely chopped ginger and garlic to this and stir for sometime. (3-4 pieces of garlic and ginger about the size of a penny)
  • Once done, add the finely chopped tomato. (Half a medium sized tomato)
  • Add salt chilli powder and cook till you see the oil float above the tomatoes. (salt as per taste, chilli powder about a heaped teaspoon)
  • Add the Soya Sauce (About a teaspoon)
  • And tomato ketchup (About 4-5 tablespoons)

  • Mix everything thoroughly.


3. The finale.


  • Add the capsicum. spring onion and fried potatoes.
  • Mix everything and stir fry the whole thing for 4-5 minutes.


And voila, you are good to go.
