Mughlai food is known to be very time consuming to prepare as it uses lots of pastes that need to be ground separately. Here is a starter that is prepared by first making a bright green fresh and minty paste and then combined with curds and other ingredients to make a marinade. Make sure you marinate the potatoes for at least 1 hour before grilling so that they absorb all the nuances of flavour. This preparation is worth all the extra effort required.
