For tempering jakhiya is used but some people also add little mustard seeds with jakhiya but if jakhiya is not available then you can use cumin and mustard seeds. The authentic crunchy nutty flavor can only be get with jakhiya seeds . Traditionally mustard oil is used for making aloo ke gutuk but depends on availability you can use any cooking oil you have.

Red chili or green chilies are used in it, you can use both or any one you prefer. I have used crushed green chili and ginger paste. Lemon juice or mango powder can be used to add tanginess but its totally optional.
