Ingredients

• 500 grams Baby potatoes
• 1 small (approx. 100 grams) Beetroot
• 150 grams Plain yogurt
• 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon Ginger garlic paste
• 1 teaspoon (or to taste) Salt
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh cilantro leaves
• 1 small (finely chopped, optional) Green chili
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 small (finely diced) Red onion
• 1 teaspoon Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Wash the baby potatoes and place them in a pot. Cover with water and add a pinch of salt. Boil for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender. Drain and let them cool slightly.

Step 2

While the potatoes are boiling, peel and grate the beetroot. Set it aside.

Step 3

Heat 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil in a small pan over medium heat. Add the ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric powder, and ginger garlic paste. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, then remove from heat.

Step 4

In a mixing bowl, combine the plain yogurt, mayonnaise, sautéed spice mixture, salt, lemon juice, and grated beetroot. Mix until well combined, creating a vibrant pink dressing.

Step 5

Once the potatoes have cooled, cut them into halves (or quarters if they are larger). Add the potatoes to the bowl with the dressing and gently toss to coat them evenly.

Step 6

Fold in the finely chopped red onion, fresh cilantro leaves, and green chili (if using). Taste and adjust salt or lemon juice as needed.

Step 7

Cover the bowl and chill the salad in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 8

Serve the Bollywood Potato Salad cold, garnished with additional cilantro leaves if desired. Enjoy!
