For this latest episode of Chai Time, Chef Meherwan Irani asked his mom for her go-to masala potato recipe—she sent three. One is jeera (cumin) forward, one is dhana (coriander) forward, and this, Irani's favorite, is rai (mustard) seed forward. A little dash of ajwain and hing, a squeeze of lime, and some curry leaves to flavor the oil. Flavours similar to the ones Irani enjoyed back when he was skipping classes (shhh, don't tell his mom 🤫) in college in Ahmednagar, India (his hometown) and getting masala potato toasted sandwiches with Maggi ketchup at Royal canteen.
