Aloo ki Sabzi (Potato Curry)

Serves: 2
Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 10-15 minutes

Ingredients


  • Potato - 3-4 medium sized (sliced in 1 inch cubes)
  • Tomatoes - 1 large
  • Green Chilies - 2-3
  • Ginger - 1 tbsp (grated)
  • Garlic - 3-4 cloves
  • Cumin Seeds - 1 tbsp
  • Coriander Seeds - 1 tbsp
  • Spices
    • Coriander Powder - 1/2 tsp
    • Mango Powder (Amchur) - 1/2 tsp
    • Red Chili Powder - 1/4 tsp
    • Garam Masala - 1 tbsp
    • Turmeric - 1/2 tsp
  • Salt to taste
  • Vegetable Oil - 1 tbsp



Directions:



  • In a blender, blend the tomatoes and chilies together. This will give you a spice tomato gravy. Keep aside.
  • Heat oil in a pan and add cumin and coriander seeds. Keep this over medium heat till the seeds stop spluttering and add ginger and garlic.  






  • Saute till the ginger garlic turn golden brown and add tomatoes+green chili  and spices and saute for a few more minutes.

  • Add the potatoes and saute over medium heat till the oil separates. 


  • Add water, cover the pan with a lid and let it simmer (on low flame) for about 10 minutes or till the potatoes are tender.


  • Once done, mash a few tomatoes (not all) with a masher if you want a thick gravy. I prefer that but if you don't you can skip this step. 
  • Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and serve hot with Poori or rice
