Today I would like to give you the recipe for a dish which is delicious and nutritious on top, with yummy potatoes in sauce! I normally never use the word ‘curry’ to describe a dish but have heard that this would fit perfectly for this dish. So here we are:

How to prepare Aloo ka Jhol

Place the potatoes into a pot with water and bring the water to a boil. Let them boil in the water until they are soft. In the meantime you can wash the tomatoes and cut them into small pieces.

Check whether your potatoes are soft by poking a fork into them. If it goes in smoothly until the center and out again, your potatoes are boiled soft. You can pour out the water, let cold water run over them for a bit and let them cool down. Once they are cool enough that you can hold them by hand, you can peel them. Put them into a big bowl and break them with the hands easily into pieces.

Now take a big wok or a deep pan and heat up the oil in it. Once it is hot, you can put the cumin, garam masala, coriander, turmeric, ginger and mango powder into the pan as well. Stir to keep them from burning while frying them. Once they are changing to a darker colour, you can add the tomatoes into the pan and mix them well with the spices. Stir while you are frying them so that they get soft.

Once the tomatoes are like puree, you can add the potatoes as well. Mix it well and finally add water. Again stir and mix it well once more. Add salt, stir and bring the mixture to a boil.

Now you can boil the vegetable dish until it has the thickness you like.

Enjoy!
