Bihari-style Creamy Potato Salad

In this Bihari-style Creamy Potato Salad, we incorporate the distinct flavors of Bihari cuisine by using spices such as cumin, coriander, and mustard. The dressing is made with yogurt instead of mayonnaise, giving it a tangy twist.

Treat your ingredients with care...

• Potatoes — Make sure to boil the potatoes until they are tender but still hold their shape. Overcooking can result in mushy potatoes, which may affect the texture of the salad.

• You can add a squeeze of lemon juice for an extra tangy flavor.
• Feel free to customize the salad by adding other vegetables of your choice, such as corn or peas.
• To make it more filling, you can add boiled eggs or grilled chicken as additional toppings.
• Make sure to refrigerate the salad for at least an hour before serving to allow the flavors to develop.
