Potato Zoodles
Anar Gourmet Foods, USA sent me a starter pack as a gift to try and promote the product sometime back. This was also one of my earliest promotional work and I loved doing this recipe for them. This spice blend was for the Potato and Egg Fry , I tweaked it a bit to create a vegan version of the dish.
I have used the spice blend for the video but I have also given an alternate spice that can be used to develop decent taste for the dish, I still recommend using the actual spice blend as that is specifically made for this recipe.
Anar Gourmet foods prepares natural, gluten free gourmet seasoning mixes for specific recipes and spice blends. They are available in Stores in the East coast and can be ordered online from anywhere in the States. They sell a wide range of Spice blends including “Saag Paneer” , “Daal” ,” South Indian Hot Curry Powder” etc. Your job as a home cook becomes easy as you do not have to mix, grind or blend tens of spices to prepare your dish, just open this pack, add the main ingredient and cook. The packets have detailed instructions at the back making your job super easy. They also have Frozen entrées as options like “Chicken Tikka Masala with Basmati Rice”. The company is a women owned business and is a part of WBEC-East.
Potato and Egg fry is a staple Indian comfort food and is loved during winter months in many parts of India . This packet helps you recreate this dish easily in your kitchen without having to worry about the blend of spices and their proportion while cooking. This is my version of the dish, I did not use eggs and made it completely vegan. I also used cilantro paste instead of chopped cilantros to get a greenish color in my dish. The most interesting change I made was to use ZOODLES (noodles made of zucchini) and it complimented the potatoes beautifully. The dish was perfect, just great for any palate and goes great with a roti or naan. Look at the picture, doesn’t it look delicious and delectable? You can replace zoodles with zucchini pieces too.
