Ingredients
Preparation
-
Preparing the potatoes: Boil the potatoes in salted water until they are tender but still firm (about fifteen minutes). Drain and reserve.
-
Preparation of the curry: In a frying pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds. Then add the chopped onion and fry until golden brown. Stir in the garlic, ginger, and green pepper, then sauté for another 2 minutes.
-
Adding the spices: Add the turmeric, ground coriander, and garam masala to the pan. Mix well to coat the onions and cook for a minute for the spices to release their aromas.
-
Cooking with tomatoes: Add the diced tomatoes, then simmer until they break down and form a thick sauce. Then add the cooked potatoes, mix well and pour in the water to adjust the consistency of the curry.
-
Finishing: Simmer over low heat for about 10 minutes, until the potatoes absorb the flavors of the sauce. Adjust the salt seasoning to your taste.
-
Serving: Serve Aloo Sabzi garnished with fresh coriander, along with puris or vegetables, for a complete meal.
