    Recipe Notes - Tips and Substitutions

    • Cut of onion and potatoes is important for the perfect taste. So prepping potatoes and onion is the only time-consuming thing. Slice them in equal size and that is neither too thin nor too thick. If you cut them too thin these will break easily while stir-frying and too thick means less spicy. So about ¼th of an inch works great. You can either slice them with a knife or use mandolin of adjustable thickness.
    • If you can’t find coriander seeds you can substitute with coriander powder it tastes good too but for the best taste always use crushed coriander seeds. The crunch that comes in every mouthful is delightful.
    • When you are stir-frying, cover them in-between and frequently stir them. It takes approximately 12-15 minutes of cooking so you can stir them every 3 minutes or so. In last leave them for 2-3 minutes to allow to develop some brown bits in the bottom of wok or kadai that is another delicious part about aloo pyaz sabzi.
    • If you can’t find amchoor or mango powder use juice of ¼ lime +½ teaspoon Cumin powder in where you use amchoor. It may change the taste a bit but a slight tanginess in the sabzi is a must.

    Secret Tip to Make Best Aloo Pyaz 

    Mom’s Secret to Make Best Aloo Pyaz sabzi is coriander seeds! And single most important tip is to use crushed coriander seeds and never coriander powder. I mean if you do not have access to whole coriander seeds you can use that but for best tasting aloo always use crushed coriander. I crush coriander seeds in a small mortar and pestle.

    How to Serve

    Aloo pyaz sabji or bhujia tastes best with paratha or even with egg paratha. This is best potato side dish to serve with Any Indian Dal, Butter chicken, Matar Paneer or even as a sandwich filling. So whenever you are making this potato onion sabzi make a big batch and enjoy it in more than one meal in the week. It stores well in the fridge.

    How to Store Potato Fry in the fridge

    You can store it in any glass container with lid as per your convenience, in individual portions or as it is. To reheat just take out the required amount and microwave it for 2-3 minutes and it will taste as good as fresh or even better!
