Aloo ki Sabzi (Spiced Gravied Potatoes)

This is a dish that has been heavily inspired by Ranjani's recipe. I just made a couple of changes as I went along. Here's my version of it.

Ingredients:
3 potatoes, boiled, peeled, and coarsely mashed
¼ onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, crushed and chopped finely
½ - 1 tsp freshly grated ginger

For seasoning:
Oil
½ tsp cumin seeds
1 tsp fennel seeds
½ tsp fenugreek seeds
A pinch of asafoetida

½ cup tomato ketchup
1 Tbsp tomato paste
1 heaped tsp coriander powder
¾ -1 tsp red chilli powder
Salt to taste

Method:
Heat oil in a large pan. Temper it with the ingredients listed above.

Add the ginger and garlic followed by the chopped onions. Sauté till the onions are done.

Add the ketchup, tomato paste, and coriander and chilli powders. Mix well and cook, 3-5 minutes.

Next, add the mashed potatoes along with 1-1 ½ cups of water depending on the consistency desired. Cover and cook till the gravy thickens, 10-12 minutes.

Serve hot with rice or rotis. We had this with some dal-rice and absolutely loved it. I will definitely be making this again and again! It was tasty, spicy, tangy and more!

Thank you for sharing a fantastic recipe, Ranjani.
