Mathura Ke Dubki Wale Aloo is ridiculously easy aloo recipes that you would actually be surprised. It is a spicy and hot curry with boiled potatoes and aromatic spices. Trust me, this recipe contains no extra ingredient, not even tomatoes or onions to back it up. The spices give it a flavorful taste of the Indian wedding breakfast in old times. Days where breakfast was served with hot pooris with Shadi wali aloo ki sabzi. 🙂

I still remember how I tried this recipe because of its interesting name. As the name suggests this recipe is exactly the same! It has an aromatic taste with beautiful mashed potatoes that will truly remind you of Mathura. Whenever I visit Mathura I make it to the point to eat Mathura ke dubki wale aloo with Kachori and Jalebi. I love to eat Veg Tehri and Hare Matar Ki Ghughni there as well.

I love how potatoes help in thickening the texture of the curry while the coriander leaves add to the delicious flavour. Since it is a potato curry recipe without no onion or garlic in it, it can be made during Navratri or other falahar days. You can also make my other favourite potato recipes for falahar

• Aloo Tamatar Ki Sabzi,
• Aloo Baingan Ki Sabzi,
• Kashmiri Dum Aloo and
• Achari Aloo Gobi.

Spicy potato sabji cooked in aromatic spices is a great fit for the Navratri. Yes, it is a longish recipe, takes almost one hour, so I make it on weekends. It takes a long time but you really do not have to babysit it. Just spend 10 minutes making it and leave it to simmer to bring out the best taste. Poori and Al0o Sabji is the most loved recipe in my home and it's a win-win situation for me, I can make it easily if I have potatoes at home. 

Mathura ke dubki wale aloo is a dish that I like to serve the traditional way with poori and Chawal Ki Kheer. There are countless variations of Indian potato recipes, specifically the boiled potato recipes but for no onion no garlic and super quick Aloo puri combination,  this Mathura Ke Dubki Wale Aloo is the best recipe choice ever.

Tip: If you have the guest coming over you can make Mathura Ke Dubki Wale Aloo with poori, paneer ki kheer and kheere ka raita. I can tell you this may well be best Indian meal you have tasted in a long time

Mathura Ke Dubki Wale Aloo Recipe Notes

• Mashing the potatoes makes the curry thick and non-watery. In other words, it thickens the gravy. You can always try this hack while making any potato curry.
• It’s really important to be patient and slow cook the dish as it gives flavour and allows the spices to dissolve in the curry fully.
• Fresh coriander adds a dash of fresh fragrance and colour contrast to the dish, do add them.
• Mathura ke dubki wale aloo taste great with poori and chawal ki kheer.
