POTATO CURRY………….. (Aloo ki Sabzi)

This Potato curry is a nutritious and flavorful vegetable recipe. Typically, Potato curry is served in South Asian homes on Sunday mornings. It is commonly served as a traditional breakfast, a lot of people enjoy it throughout the course of a day. In addition to it being budget-friendly for meal planning, this dish is easy to prepare. This recipe can be enjoyed as a side dish or as a main course too. I even like to serve this potato curry as a starter with Kachoris at my Brunch Party.

Selecting potatoes for this recipe is a crucial step. If the selection of potatoes is wrong, they can simply fall apart and ruin the texture and flavors of the curry. For instance, the Russel potatoes can easily get mushy when you cook them for too long. Commonly, they are much better for making mashed potatoes. Potatoes in each curry recipe require to be very firm and maintain their formation, even when being exposed to high heat. I personally use Yukon Gold potatoes for this curry recipe.

 

This “Aloo ki Sabzi” is a potato dish made using pickling spices. The slightly tangy and spicy flavors make this dish very special.
