Bombay Aaloo

We tried the dish first time from a restaurant. Though it was little spicy but my son liked it. It is a dish that goes well with either rice or with Naan or chapati. This is neither too dry nor to gravy and can be a good choice for a side dish.

Ingredients

• 4-5 Boiled Potatoes cut in big pieces
• 3-4 tomatoes finely chopped
• 1 medium size onion finely chopped
• 1 green chili slit in half
• 2-3 cloves of garlic
• Spices (Salt, Turmeric powder, Red Chili powder, Coriander powder, Kasturi Methi or coriander leaves, cumin seeds, Tez Patta or Bay leaves)
• 2-3 table spoon of Oil
  

Procedure

• Heat oil in a pan. Add cumin seeds and tez patta to oil when hot. 

• Add chopped onion and garlic. Fry it till onion is little golden brown. 
  

• Add red chili powder and turmeric powder on pan and mix it well. 

• Now add chopped tomatoes and let it cook till it is soft for around 5-6 mins. Mix it well and mesh tomatoes while mixing. Add coriander powder. 

• Add small cup of water in the pan and let it cook for another 3-4 mins till it forms a paste. Keep it mixing in between to prevent it from getting burnt. 

• Now add potatoes to the paste and mix it well. Let it cook for another 2-3 mins. Keep on mixing gently to make sure potatoes have a proper coating of the gravy. Sprinkle Kasturi Methi powder or Coriander leaves on top.

• Enjoy the meal with Naan or Chapati.
