What Ingredients do I Need for Aloo Sabji?

  • 4 piece Potatoes - default
  • 2 tbsp Cooking oil (vegetable or mustard oil) - default
  • 0.5 tsp Cumin Seeds - default
  • 0.5 tsp Turmeric Powder - default
  • 1 tsp Coriander powder - default
  • 0.5 tsp Red chili powder - default
  • 1 piece ginger - default
  • 2 piece Garlic clove - default
  • 1 piece Onion - default
  • 2 piece Tomatoes - default

Instructions: How to Make Aloo Sabji

  • Heat oil in a pan or kadhai over medium heat. Once hot, add cumin seeds. Let them splutter.
  • Add grated ginger, minced garlic, and chopped onions. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until onions are soft and golden.
  • Add chopped tomatoes and cook for another 3-4 minutes until they soften and turn mushy.
  • Stir in turmeric powder, coriander powder, and red chili powder. Mix well and cook for 1 minute to release the spices' flavors.
  • Add the cubed potatoes and salt. Stir to coat the potatoes evenly with the spice mixture.
  • Add water and cover the pan. Let the potatoes cook for 10-12 minutes or until tender. Stir occasionally and add more water if needed to prevent sticking.
  • Once the potatoes are cooked and the gravy has thickened slightly, remove from heat and garnish with chopped coriander leaves. Serve hot with roti, rice, or paratha
