Aloo Bhaji Recipe – Potato Sabzi For Poori

Recently I tasted Potato sabzi( Aloo Bhaji in Hindi) for poori in a North Indian thali. It was so tasty and a perfect side dish for Poori. Last week when I made Palak Poori, I wanted to try the Aloo Bhaji/Potato Sabzi I had in the hotel. Usually I make South Indian style Potato masala for Poori. But this is a completely different recipe from mine. Actually speaking, Aloo Bhaji can be made in various ways. Though its a North Indian recipe, there are many aloo bhaji versions like Bengali, Gujarati, Maharashtrian, Pakistani etc.Today I have shared a basic Potato gravy adding onion, tomato and masala powders. I am sure you can enjoy this sabzi with Poori & chapati as well if you like semi gravy type side dishes. Do try this easy and yummy aloo bhaji recipe/Potato sabzi for Poori and enjoy with your family.

Discard the excess water and keep the potatoes in a bowl of cold water. Peel the skin of potato and chop them roughly.Set aside. Heat oil in a kadai and splutter cumin seeds.Add finely chopped onions and curry leaves. Saute till transparent. Add tomato pieces and saute until mushy. Add turmeric powder, salt, red chilli powder,  dhania powder, sugar and garam masala powder. Mix well for few minutes. Add 1 cup of water and let the tomato, onion cook well.Add potato pieces.
