Recipe: Sangita's Aloo Tamatar Ki Sabzi

July 26, 2022 12:54 IST

The best recipes are the simple ones that come together with not much effort and taste divine.

Sangita Agrawal's Aloo Tamatar Ki Sabzi is one such delightful potato recipe.

It's made without onions and garlic and if you have some left, have it the next day for breakfast with pooris, parathas or kachoris.

Sangita, who paints and loves gardening, started cooking at age 14 and is self taught.

Aloo Tamatar Ki Sabzi

Serves: 2-3

Ingredients

Method

Editor's Note: A teaspoon of ghee would liven this curry up even further. And maybe 1 tsp of kallonji or onion seeds or a pinch of sonf or fennels seeds in the tadka or tempering.

Those on a diabetic diet or for a Jain version, may substitute the alu with 250 gm cubed, lightly-boiled green banana.

Pair this alu sabzi with warm chapattis or steamed rice.

Meat eaters might enjoy a little kheema on the side. Try Chef Abinas Nayak's recipe for Mutton Kheema with Brinjal and Walnuts.

Or some prawn pickle -- have a go at making Rajlaxmi Navalkar's Prawn Pickle.
