Potatoes are considered alkaline due to their high pH level. When digested, they produce an alkaline ash which can help balance the body's pH levels. However, it's important to note that the alkalinity of a food can vary based on factors like cooking methods and accompanying ingredients.

Can alkaline affect growth of plant?

It depends on the plant, assuming we are not talking about an extreme of alkalinity. Neutral is pH 7 Above that is alkaline, below it is acidic.

So it depends on what "plant" you are talking about.

Why should we not cook potatoes in tamarind solution and chemically what is the problem if we do so?

Cooking of any substance involves simplifying the complex substances into simpler substances. Thus, cooking of potatoes involves break-down of complex starch into simpler starch. But this can be done only in basic (alkaline) medium. Tamarind solution contains tartaric acid and hence is acidic in nature. So potatoes will not get cooked when we try to do so in tamarind solution. Instead, potatoes should be cooked separately and added to the solution.
