Steps:
- Use your fingers to gently smash the potatoes, giving them a chunky texture. You can use a fork to do this if you like, but be sure to not smash them too much, or you'll lose that lovely, chunky texture.
- In a frying pan, heat the oil over medium until it begins to shimmer.
- Add the mustard seeds to the hot oil. Once they begin to pop, add the cumin seeds, asafetida, and urad dal. Stir constantly to keep everything moving, and cook until fragrant and starting to brown - just a minute or two.
- Stir in the curry leaves or lime zest and chopped chilies, and continue stirring for another 15 seconds.
- Add in the chopped onion, turmeric, and 2 big pinches of salt, and stir well. Continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the onion begins to soften and turn translucent.
- Add the potatoes, along with 1/2 cup of water. Gently stir to coat the potatoes in the spices and onions, then cover with a lid and let it cook for a few minutes, or long enough to ensure the potatoes are heated through and the flavors have mingled.
- Remove from the heat, and gently stir in the chopped cilantro. If the texture is a little dry for your liking, stir in another splash or two of water.
- Give it a taste and add more salt or spices as desired. Transfer to a serving dish, or spoon into a dosa, and garnish with the reserved cilantro leaves.

ALOO MASALA (SPICED POTATOES)
A little bowl of simply spiced half-mashed potatoes and onion, glistening with fat, is a standard side dish at bustling restaurants that serve dosas. It's also one of the best vegetable dishes - inexpensive, quick and delicious - to add to your repertoire as a home cook. The key to these potatoes is water, not fat. Overcooking them just slightly ensures that they're tender, and that they hold enough moisture so when you drop them into the hot pan, they break up and meld into the sautéed onion mix, becoming almost indistinguishable from it. Though aloo masala is great with a hot dosa, it's a versatile dish that can also work as a side with other meals.

Steps:
- Bring a pot of water to boil over high. Once the water boils, add the potatoes. Cook until tender, about 10 minutes, then drain in a colander.
- In a heavy pot, heat the oil over medium. Add the urad dal, cumin and mustard seeds, and fry until cumin seeds are browned and dal is crisp, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the cashews, chile and ginger, and cook for another 2 minutes. Add the onion, salt and turmeric, and lower the heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is translucent and tender but not browned, about 5 minutes.
- Tip the cooked potatoes, half the cilantro and 1/4 cup water into the pot, and stir well to coat. As you stir, let some of the potato get mashed. If the mixture seems dry, add a splash more of water. Cook over low, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are heated through, about 5 minutes, then season to taste with salt. Scrape into a serving dish; top with a generous squeeze of lemon and the remaining cilantro.
