Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Potatoes
- 1 medium Onion
- 1 medium Tomato
- 1 small Green chili
- 1 inch piece Ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 0.75 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander leaves
- 1 teaspoon Mustard oil
Instructions
Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes, approximately 1-inch in size. Finely chop the onion and tomato. Slit the green chili lengthwise and finely chop the ginger.
Heat 1 teaspoon of mustard oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Once hot, add cumin seeds and let them crackle.
Add the chopped onions and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they turn translucent.
Add the chopped ginger and green chili, sauté for another minute until the raw smell of ginger disappears.
Add the chopped tomatoes and cook until they become soft and mushy, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and salt. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the spices are well mixed.
Add the diced potatoes and stir to coat them with the spice mix.
Pour in the cup of water, cover the pan with a lid, and let the potatoes cook for about 12-15 minutes on low heat until they are tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once the potatoes are cooked, add garam masala and mix well. Cook for another 2 minutes without the lid.
Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves before serving.
Serve the Low Fat Aaloo Sabzi hot with chapati or steamed rice.
