How to Make it
Ingredients
To make this aloo sabzi gravy you need all of these ingredients:
Potato: I use boiled and peeled potatoes. You can boil them in a pressure cooker or cook them after peeling. For cooking without a pressure cooker first, peel the potatoes and cut them in big chunks. Boil them in salted water till they are tender and use these cooked potatoes to make potato curry.
Tomatoes: This is thin curry. I make a masala with chopped tomatoes, green chillies, and ginger for the base of the curry.
Spice and seasonings: Spice powders enhance the taste of this curry. I use coriander powder, turmeric powder, Kashmiri red chilli powder, cumin powder etc. I also use whole spices like cumin and hing/asafoetida.
Oil: You can use any neutral-tasting vegetable oil or ghee for making this aloo curry.
Recipe Notes and Tried & tested Tips
- Quality of tomatoes makes the difference. Use red ripe tomatoes with a lot of sweet flesh for the perfect texture of the curry.
- If you want to make it gluten-free use gluten-free hing.
- Do not completely mash the potatoes. Coarsely mashed potatoes work well for the authentic aloo sabji.
How to Store it
This Aloo Tamatar Sabzi tastes best when fresh and served with hot Poori. If you have leftovers it stores well in the fridge for 2-3 days. I generally do not recommend storing any water-based preparation of potatoes in the freezer so If you take my advice do not freeze this curry.
Serving Suggestions
This Aloo Sabzi is popularly served along with Poori and tastes great with parathas. I mostly serve this with either Piping Hot poori or methi dal masala poori, laccha paratha etc. Serve plain yogurt/dahi or cucumber raita or boondi raita alongside for a comforting and fulfilling meal.

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.
