Versatility of Potato/ Aloo

Aloo/ potatoes are one of the popular, favourite and comfort food in most parts of the world. There are a variety of potatoes available in the market as well as an array of yummy dishes prepared with them. Potato is used for making a simple boiled potato to some exotic dishes like Dum Aloo Kashmiri, Crispy Potato Wedges etc. Potato is a versatile ingredient that can be included with a variety of veggies, meat, seafood and street foods.

Shallot is one of the key ingredient in this exotic dish that give an amazing flavour and texture to the dish along with melon seeds and cashew paste. This is quite a rich and aromatic dish that goes well with Naan, Phulkas, Chapathis or Pulaos.

Shallots are great allium when compared to onion or a scallion. They have exclusive complex flavour of their own. When sautéed, they virtually melts into the mouth hence attribute a lot in making the dish appealing. When added to any dish, it gives a silky textured sauce, zesty and pleasant taste. Shallots are also known as North European garlic. They are specifically an onion, but look a lot like garlic and have a mild garlicky flavor. History states that they were first introduced to Europeans during the 12th century and the crusaders brought them here as valuable treasure from the ancient Palestinian city of Ascalon (their latin name).

Some of the classic Indian recipes made with shallots are Shallots Curry- Ulli Theeyal, Eggs in Spicy Chettinad masala, Chicken roast Kerala style, Easy tasty Sambar, Malabar Chemmeen curry etc. Shallots are widely used in most dishes prepared in Chettinad cuisine, south India.
