Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Peel and chop the potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Finely chop the onion and green chilies. Mince the garlic.

Tempering the Spices

  • Heat oil in a pan or pot over medium heat. Add mustard seeds and cumin seeds. Once they splutter, add curry leaves and green chilies. Sauté for a minute until fragrant.

Sautéing the Vegetables

  • Add the chopped onions and sauté until they soften. Then, add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant. Stir in turmeric powder.

Simmering the Curry

  • Add the chopped potatoes, salt, and sugar (if using). Stir well to coat the potatoes with the spices. Add half a cup of water, cover, and simmer until the potatoes are tender (about 10-15 minutes), stirring occasionally.

Incorporating the Yogurt

  • Once the potatoes are cooked, gently stir in the yogurt. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce slightly thickens. Do not boil. Taste and adjust salt as needed.

Serving

  • Serve hot with steamed rice, roti, or naan bread.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for the Best Aloo Dahi Curry

  • For a smoother curry, you can blend a portion of the cooked potatoes before adding the yogurt.
  • If your yogurt is too thick, thin it out with a little water or milk before adding it to the curry.
  • Don't boil the curry after adding the yogurt, as this can cause it to curdle.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables like peas or cauliflower for a more substantial curry.
