Aloo Gutke is made using boiled potatoes, mustard oil, cumin seeds, fenugreek seeds, and spices like coriander powder, red chilli powder, turmeric, Kasuri methi, and fresh coriander leaves. To prepare it, heat mustard oil in an iron kadhai, add the cumin and fenugreek seeds, and roast the spices well. Next, add the cubed boiled potatoes along with green chillies, mix thoroughly to coat them, and finish with Kasuri methi and fresh coriander before serving hot.
Bhang ki Chutney is prepared by lightly roasting edible-grade hemp seeds and grinding them in a mixer jar with garlic cloves, fresh coriander leaves, cumin seeds, salt, and water. Finally, mix in a little lemon juice to balance the flavors, keeping the texture slightly coarse rather than too watery.
