My Food Story: A taste of winters

I used to eat Batisda kadugu sopu often while I was growing up. I now make it in winters.

Batisda kadugu sopu

Ingredients

Mustard leaves, potatoes, green chilli, mustard seeds, ghee and salt

Method

Pressure cook the well-washed chopped mustard leaves with potatoes (with skin) and a few whole green chillies. Empty into a colander. Remove the skins of the potato as well as the stalks of chillies. Mash altogether. Add salt. Prepare a tadka (seasoning) of mustard seeds cracked in ghee and mix in.
