Namaste #IronChefs!,

If you go to any Bengali house in festive time you'll find Aloo Koraishuti (Green peas with potato) and Luchi, one kind of deep-fried flatbread. Tough this is not a festive period still I made this ultimate Bengali comfort food. It is a vegetarian dish. Vegans will love this too. The best part is we don't put garlic or onion in this dish. But believe me, you'll love this style of cooking and taste of it. So Let's jump to the fun part.

This is two-part dish. First making of homemade spices. In Later part we will make the Aloo Koraishuti.
