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!
Cover and cook on medium heat for 10 minutes or until the gravy thickens.Add the rest of the Corianderleaves and Garam Masala and take off heat.Keep covered for 15 minutes and offer to the Goddess!Serve with hot pooris!
