Step 1. Peel the potatoes and put them in a bowl filled with water. Keep another bowl with clean water by the side.

Step 8. Add onions and saute for a minute and bell pepper in it.
Step 9. Add black pepper powder and salt, spring onion and saute. Make sure the crunch of all the vegetables retains.
