Ingredients
Produce
Spices and Flavorings
- 1 tsp Mustard Seeds
- 1.5 Curry Leaves
- 1 pinch Asafoetida hing
- 1/2 tsp Turmeric Powder
- 1 tsp Coriander ground
- Chili Powder to taste
- 1.5 tsp Salt
Other
- 2 tbsp Oil
Instructions
- Boil the potatoes until tender. Peel and set aside.
- Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the mustard seeds and asafoetida. The mustard seeds will begin to pop, releasing their nutty aroma.
- Add the julienned ginger and sauté for a minute until fragrant. Then, add the curry leaves and green chilies. Sauté for another minute.
- Add the chopped tomatoes and cook for a minute or two until they begin to soften. Now, add the salt, chili powder, turmeric powder, and ground coriander. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes break down and form a thick paste.
- Gently crush the boiled potatoes with your hand and add them to the pan. This helps the potatoes absorb the flavors of the spices and creates a thicker curry.
- Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, allowing the potatoes to coat in the spice mixture. Add 1 1/2 cups of water and bring to a simmer. This creates the gravy for the curry.
- Simmer for another 7 to 8 minutes, or until the gravy has thickened slightly. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Garnish with fresh coriander. Serve hot with puri, chapati, or rice.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- This recipe can be adapted for fasting by replacing regular salt with rock salt.
- For a tangier flavor, add a splash of tamarind water or a teaspoon of amchur (dry mango powder) during the final simmer.
- If you prefer a thicker gravy, lightly mash a few potato pieces directly into the curry while it simmers.
- For added crunch, garnish with roasted peanuts or fried curry leaves just before serving.
- Leftovers make a great filling for dosas, parathas, or sandwiches.
Expert Tips
- Adjust the spice level to your preference by adding more or fewer green chilies.
- For a richer flavor, use ghee instead of oil for cooking.
- Adding a pinch of turmeric not only enhances the color but also adds a subtle earthy note.
Storage Instructions
- Store leftover Aloo Ki Sabji in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat thoroughly before serving, either on the stovetop or in the microwave.
