Summary:
My lunch used to be incomplete without a daily dose of the potato masala. Made from wheat milk, sugar and pure ghee, the halwa was the lone star item for decades, until the potato masala was introduced 50 years ago. At 10.30 am sharp, a silver tray of flavoursome potato masala is brought out. Onion pakoda and the spicy potato masala that stood apart from the usual poori bhaji style potato that was otherwise common those days, caught the attention of customers,” says Venkatraman. The mandharai leaf keeps the masala fresh for a whole day and the halwa comes with a shelf life of 15 days..
