Cover & cook the mixture on low- medium heat, until the potatoes are done. Stir once or twice in between so the potatoes don't stick to the bottom.

Add a little salt, turmeric powder and sugar, gently mix with your fingers. Set aside in the seive itself.

Once the potatoes turn soft, add the chivda mixture into the masala, mix gently.
