It is always a good idea to revisit childhood memories through food. And what better time than now to try out old favourites? That’s exactly what renowned chef Saransh Goila did recently. He shared a tidbit from his growing up days and showed us how to make the evergreen aloo with bedmi.
Sharing the recipe on Instagram, the chef wrote, “A recipe straight from my childhood and Buniya community for you. It is very similar to lots of UP style aloo. I’m pretty sure you’ll have all the ingredients for this in your kitchen and it uses leftover boiled potatoes in my fridge and lots of urad dal from my cabinet!
