Aamras ke Aaloo ( baby potatoes in mango purée and raw mango sauce)

This is a recipe by Chef Kunal Kapoor of Master Chef India (3).  He demonstrated it in one of the episodes. The only changes I have made are : I have increased the quantity of potatoes from 1 cup to 2 cups. He used larger of the baby potatoes (12-15) , while I had very small baby potatoes so 12-15 didn't seem enough. 

Since I increased the quantity of potatoes I also increase the quantity of mango pulp and spices accordingly.

Ingredients :

Oil                              2 tbsp
