What you need in the making of Cold Potato Salad?

Boiled and cubed potatoes are Seasoned with salt, cumin powder and chaat masala. Add chopped onion and the boiled green peas and corn. The peas add a beautiful color to the salad.Toss the veggies in the yogurt dip and I added my touch to this with a little bit of tempering with whole cumin and curry leaves. The tempering effect gives a nice flavor to the yogurt. And there you are - your salad is ready. Anything that doesn’t calls for strenuous cooking is always a Winner in the Kitchen. Thankful to my Dear Friend who had the heart to share this deliciousness with me. I think I am going to make this again soon as it was enjoyable among the biggies and the kids too.

Recipe Tips-

• You can drizzle your salad with the sweet and sour Tamarind Chutney.

• Tempering is optional. I like my yoghurt tempered with curry leaves so I did. If for any reason you don’t want to, you are free to skip it.

• Make sure you allow the salad to cool because as the name says ‘Cold Potato Salad’ it needs a good few minutes of chilling in the fridge.
