100 gm Tamarind
250 gm Potatoes or Arwi
2 tsp Cumin seeds
2-3 no Red dry chillies
1/2 tsp Dry ginger powder
125 gm Jaggery or sugar

Chaat masala, chilli powder and salt to taste

Method of Preparation :

• Soak imli/tamarind in lukewarm water for 1-2 hours or you can do this a day before.
• Then with your fingers mash them and throw the stones. If you are using stoned tamarind/imli just mash with your fingers.
• Now put crushed jaggery or sugar along with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and ginger powder.(If you want to use this sauce for few days, boil the sauce and use when it cools down.
• Roast cumin seeds along with dry chillies in a dry frying pan. When the colour turns brown put them on a plate. Now crush them with a rolling pin or pestle and mortar. Sprinkle this on tamarind sauce. Taste it. If you like you can mix a few teaspoons of mint sauce in it or crushed mint leaves.
• Boil aloo or arwi(bhuiyan)and peel them. Dice them and keep aside.
• When you serve, put diced aloo or arwi in a small bowl for each individual person. Sprinkle salt, chat masala, red chilli powder, a table spoon of beaten natural yoghurt and tamarind sauce. This is yummy and suitable for fast.
