Aloo “thanda” masala is something which is easy, very spicy and tasty recipe. This recipe is very old and now it is prepared in very smaller part of northern Indian from where I belong. My family loves to eat this recipe with plane rice. This thanda masala name is given because taseer of this recipe is cold and after having this recipe, your stomach feels cold. Masala used in this recipe is just awesome and perfect dish as a replacement for any regular sabzi. One thing you have to take care about this recipe is that coriander seed and mustard seed MUST be in exactly equal quantity…i.e. is any of the two goes off in proportion, you would not get the real taste. If you have done this step than you are half winner in this dish...rest left is to cook the masala properly and serve it….so have a look on the recipe.
