Preparation method

First you have to boil the potatoes in a separate pot. Peel a squash, grate it and squeeze the juice. Now fry the onion and pepper in a frying pan in light oil. At this stage, the boiled potatoes should be crushed with the help of hands. Mix well with fried onion, pepper and mustard oil. Proper amount of salt should be given. Many also use boiled eggs, beans, eggplant, etc. with potatoes.

Also many use burnt pepper; It gives a different kind of taste and smell to the filling. Raw pepper powder is also used. Ghee is often used for variety and flavor.
