Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Blanching potatoes in salted boiling water for exactly 40 seconds and immediately rinsing under cold water fixes the starch, ensuring they won’t break apart during cooking and remain chewy.
  • Adding 2 tablespoons of water when mixing the seasoning prevents the red pepper powder and garlic from burning and allows the flavors to blend smoothly into the potatoes.
  • The small amount of ketchup adds a subtle umami richness and depth of flavor without introducing noticeable sourness—this is the secret ingredient.

Recommended for

  • Those who struggle with potatoes falling apart or becoming mushy every time they make potato jorim.
  • People looking to quickly prepare a chewy, glossy rice side dish during busy times.
