Instructions

Prep

  • Chop ginger, garlic, green chilies, and red onions - set aside.
  • Dry spices - nigella seeds, fennel seeds, mustard seeds, cumin seeds, fenugreek seeds, and asafoetida (hing) - set aside.
  • Make the Cilantro Chutney by combining everything in a NutriBullet or blender. Ingredients below in recipe box. Set aside.

Cook Achari Aloo

  • Heat up a wok on medium heat, once hot, add oil followed by dry spices - all the seeds and hing. Cook for about 45 seconds.
  • Now add turmeric powder. Cook for 30 seconds.
  • Add the ginger, garlic, and green chilies. Cook for a minute.
  • Add the red onions and cook for 5 minutes on low-medium heat, stirring occasionally.
  • In the meantime, wash and peel the potatoes. Slice into long wedges.
  • Add the potatoes to the pan. Stir well and cook for a minute on medium heat.
  • Add salt, red chili powder, Kashmiri chili powder (paprika), and coriander powder. Stir well. Cook on medium heat for 4-5 minutes.
  • Add water. Stir well.
  • Reduce heat to low. Cover with a lid and cook for 10-12 minutes. Stir occasionally.
  • At this time check for salt and make sure the potatoes are fork-tender.
  • Add vinegar.
  • Add mango powder.
  • Add fresh cilantro. Stir well.
  • Heat up Roti/Paratha/Wrap
  • I love using Uncooked Phulka (Indian Roti). I just cook it on a castiron skillet without any oil.
  • It's perfect. Once cooked, set aside.

Assemble the Kati Roll

  • You'll need grated Pepper Jack Cheese, or any cheese you prefer. Achari Aloo Masala, or chat masala works. Cilantro Chutney you prepared earlier. Fresh cilantro leaves for garnish (optional).
  • Place achari aloo on a roti.
  • Top with cilantro chutney.
  • Top with pepper jack cheese and achari aloo masala.
  • Foil up the Kati rolls and place them on a castiron skillet on low heat.
  • Cover with a lid for 4-5 minutes. The cheese will melt slowly.
