Notes

  • I almost always have boiled potatoes in my fridge, and that makes it super convenient to make this curry any time.
  • You can serve this aloo sabzi with paratha if you are not feeling upto making poori.
  • Mash the tomatoes when cooking to release its juice. This makes the curry tastier.
  • Adding one mashed potato, as I have in this recipe makes the curry thick and non-watery. In other words, it thickens the gravy. You can try this hack for any other curry.
  • Slow cooking this dish enhances the flavors as the ingredients get enough time to mingle amongst themselves.
  • Fresh coriander adds a dash of fresh fragrance and color contrast to the dish, do add them.
