Remembering Mom's Aaloo (Potato) ki sookhi sabji...

Aaloo is such a common ingredient back in India... even though India is so diversified in its culture, they say you will get Aaloo's everywhere... This dish is a favorite of all mom's as a lunch menu for kids with paratha ( Indian Bread). I made this the sometime back when some of my friends had come over and they just remembered their mom's food...and childhood times...


Ingredients :

1. 6 medium size potatoes - peeled and washed, cut in thin slices
2. Onion - 1 medium finely chopped
3. Vegetable Oil - 3 tablespoons
4. Cummin seeds
5. A pinch of Hing ( astafotedia)
6. Turmeric - 1 tablespoon
7. Garam Masala - 2-3 tablespoon
8. Red chilly powder - 2 teaspoon
9. Salt - 1 tablespoon ( to taste)
10. Finely chopped Coriander leaves for garnish
11. Lemon for garnish

 Heat oil in a skillet and crackle the cummin seeds and hing,then add the chopped onions and fry them till translucent. Put the sliced potatoes and mix it well. Add chilli powder and turmeric and  cover it with a lid.

Let it cook for 10 min on low heat, keep mixing it in between so that it does not get charred in bottom.

After 10 min remove the lid and increase the heat to medium-high, add garam masala, and keep stirring it regularly so that it does not stick in bottom, but at the same time does not start breaking into smaller pieces, soon it will start developing a brown crust.

 Mix salt, add coriander leaves and cut lemon wedges for garnish. 

-ENJOY with Poori / Paratha / Roti...
