Potato Sabzi is a simple and quick recipe made with boiled potatoes and spices. This good old potato sabzi goes well with pooris and even chapatis. Aloo Sabzi with pooris is an all time favourite breakfast dish in major parts of India. In Maharashtra, Potato bhaji with pooris is a must have dish for most festivals. Here’s the recipe for the simple Aloo sabzi.
Ingredients
6 to 7 potatoes (aloo)
1 tbsp oil (tel)
1 tsp split black gram (udad dal)
1 tsp mustard seeds (rai / sarso)
10 to 12 curry leaves (kadi patta)
1 tsp chopped garlic (lehsun)
2 green chillies, slit vertically (hari mirch)
1 tsp asafoetida (hing)
1 small onion, chopped (pyaaz)
1 tsp turmeric powder (haldi)
Salt as per taste (namak)
1 tbsp chopped coriander leaves (hara dhaniya)
Method

- Peel the potatoes and chop them into tiny pieces.
- Keep this aside.
- Heat 1 tbsp oil in a pan.
- Add split black gram and mustard seeds.

Notes:
You can squeeze half a lemon over the bhaji after turning off the heat, though I have not added. The bhaji tastes great even without the lemon juice.
