Ingredients to make Potol Dorma

Parwal 6 to 7 long and big in size
potato 3 big sized
Grated coconut 1 bowl
Dry fruits - cashew nuts, almonds, raisins, 3 tbsp
salt
sugar 1 tsp
oil
ginger-Garlic paste 1 tbsp
onion paste 3 tbsp
water
Garam masala 1 tsp
red chilli powder 1/2 tsp
maida/Flour paste
Dry red chillies 2
tomato puree 1 bowl

How to make Potol Dorma

Peel the skin off from the parwals. Make a hole from one side of the parwal and take out the seeds from inside. (Take care so that the parwal doesn't crack.)
Shallow fry the parwal a little and let it cool.
In the meantime, start to prepare the filling. Boil the potatoes and mash it. Keep aside.
In a pan, heat oil and add 1/2 tsp of ginger-garlic paste, 1 tsp onion paste, salt, turmeric powder, 1/2 tsp garam masala powder. Once the masala is fried, add the mashed potatoes, grated coconut, dry fruits and sugar. Mix it properly till it dries up and leaves the corners of the pan.
When the filling cools down, stuff it tightly inside the parwal. Seal the open end of the parwal with the maida/flour paste tightly.
In a pan heat oil and add the dry red chilli, rest of the ginger-garlic paste, onion paste, tomato puree, salt, turmeric powder and garam masala. When the oil starts releasing, add 1 glass of water. Once the water starts boiling, add the parwal one by one. Add sugar and cover it.
Simmer and cook for 5 to 7 mins.
Remove from the flame and serve it with rice.

My Tip:

Instead of potatoes you can add fish and dry fruits.
