Potato Masala Alu Tarkari Recipes

ALOO KI TARKARI

Steps:

• In a pot or pan, add oil, onion and all dry spices and heat at medium flame until the onions become light brown.
• Then add all the other spices, salt and tomatoes. Reduce the flame to medium low and cover the pot. Allow tomatoes to soften up for 5 mins.
• Once the tomatoes soften up, add potatoes along with 2 cups of water.
• Cover the pot once more and let the potatoes simmer for 15 mins at medium low flame.
• The potatoes in this curry are super soft, and over cooked. The overcooking causes some of the fine potato pieces to become mushy and give this dish a thick curry base.
• Once you reach the desired consistency, turn off the flame and serve with parathas, or halwa puri (fried flatbread)
