Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Potatoes
- 1 medium Onion
- 2 small Tomato
- 1 medium Green chili
- 1 inch Ginger
- 2 units Garlic cloves
- 0.5 teaspoon Mustard seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro (fresh coriander)
- 1 tablespoon Oil
- 1 cup Water
Instructions
Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes. Finely chop the onion, tomatoes, and green chili.
Grate or finely chop the ginger and garlic.
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a non-stick pan or heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat.
Add mustard seeds and cumin seeds to the hot oil and let them splutter for about 30 seconds.
Add the chopped onion to the pan and sauté until they become translucent, approximately 4-5 minutes.
Stir in the ginger and garlic, and continue to cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the raw smell vanishes.
Add the tomatoes and green chili, and cook until the tomatoes are soft, around 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the turmeric powder, red chili powder, ground coriander, and salt. Mix well to combine the spices with the tomato-onion mixture.
Add the diced potatoes to the pan and mix well to coat them with the spice mixture.
Pour in the water, cover the pan, and let the potatoes simmer on low heat for about 15-20 minutes, or until they become tender.
Check the potatoes for doneness using a fork. If they are tender, stir in the garam masala and cook for another 2 minutes.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and serve the Low Fat Aloo Sabzi hot with roti or steamed rice.
