An amazing twist to the plain old Potatoes for Breakfast and Lunchbox. I have used roasted Dry Coconut or Khopra in this well-blended for a creamy and luscious dish.
It's the best alternative for meals. Be it Breakfast or Lunch, it's absolutely good. It's also the best option for Lunchbox. And not only that, but I also prefer it for Suhoor in Ramadan. Not only, Ramadan, but I also make it whenever I fast other than the Month of Ramadan.

It's a delicious side dish and goes very well with Rotis, Chapatis, Phulkas, and Parathas. Though it's great even with simple boiled Rice it tastes yummy with any Indian Bread.
I always dry roast the Coconut and powder it for storage in an airtight container in the refrigerator. And whenever it's required, I just blend it using some water to a smooth paste. It's a way lot more convenient that way.
Do give it a try and let me know if you like it.

Enjoy Cooking with Zeen!

Homemaker by choice and a passionate cook by heart. An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself.With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life.I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.
