About Bhandarewale Aloo Ki Subzi (Potato Curry For Auspicious Days And Fasts)

A “bhandara” is a mass feast given in North India on auspicious occasions of mostly Navratri (the 9 days fasts of Goddess Durga).It is an opulent event where many people include sometimes more than 56 items (chappan bhog).One item which is a favourite with everyone is the delicious Bhandarewale Aloo Ki Subzi with hot poori.This is a no Onion – no Garlic recipe which is so delicious that people eat unlimited pooris with an excuse of the quantity of subzi they have on their plates!Very easy to make and equally easy to devour,it is the best example of anything tasting delicious without the addition of Onion and Garlic!

I am a passionate foodie who loves to cook, serve and love to see people relishing my creations. Since the time I was small I used to wonder about the 'how' of things in the kitchen.

Then when I finally ventured as an unprofessional kitchen helper for my late grand-mother (a par excellent cook in her own generation) I was fascinated by the amount of stuff you could do to a simple milk and rice to form a most yummy pudding.

Here I am sharing my recipes with a will to learn from some and educate others as well!
