How to make spicy viyazi AND tamarind sauce
Ingredients:
- 12 potatoes
Ingredients for the flour mixture:
- 4 cups flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 4 cups water (roughly)
- orange food coloring
Ingredients for chili paste:
- 1 tbsp chili
- 1/4 tsp salt
- juice of half a lemon
Ingredients for tamarind sauce:
- 1/2 a block of tamarind (to be mixed with water and strained)
- 10 chili peppers
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1/2 an onion
Instructions:
- Place 12 potatoes in a pot, wash and rinse, then add water and bring to a boil and cook potatoes thoroughly
- While potatoes are cooking, work on the flour mixture
- In a separate bowl, add 4 cups of flour, 1/2 tsp salt, 1 egg, and roughly 4 cups of water LITTLE BY LITTLE, and mix it with a hand mixer
- Add a few drops of orange food coloring until you get the color you want and mix it all in
- Now let's work on the sauce
- In a separate bowl, add half a block of tamarind and pour water over it, break it into pieces with you hand as much as possible and then leave it for a few minutes (maybe 20 minutes or so) to thicken, then strain tamarind into a clean bowl. In a blender, add 10 chili peppers, 3 garlic cloves, 1/2 an onion, and the tamarind sauce, and set aside.
- When the potatoes are ready, peel off the skin and set aside
- Now let's work on the chili paste
- In a separate bowl, add 2 tbsp of masala, 1/4 tsp salt, squeeze in a half a lime and stir into a spreadable paste
- Now let's put everything together
- Option 1: Cut the potatoes in half, place a little bit of chili paste in the middle, put the two halves back together, dip in the orange flour mixture to coat all sides, and deep fry for a few minutes on all sides
- Option 2: Mash the potatoes (by hand or with a mixture) (it's okay to have chunk of potatoes in in if that's how you like it, or you can choose to mash it smoothly), add a spoonful of chili paste, and continue to mash the potatoes with the chili paste evenly, form into small circular shapes, dip in flour mixture to coat all sides, deep fry for a few minutes on all sides
- Then enjoy the viyazi with the chili tamarind sauce!
