About the potato curry recipe

In India, potato curry holds a special place in our hearts as this is the most loved and enjoyed Sunday breakfast or any Funday meal when we want something extra or different from our routine.

Each Indian state has its specialty for making curry with potatoes. But all have one thing in common the curry base. But this tari wale aloo, aka curried potatoes, is entirely different. These potatoes are prepared without onions, tomatoes, garlic and ginger.

Wait. What? Without all this, how curry can be prepared? Yes! You heard it right this curry potato is without all these curry essentials. And believe me, it tastes so yummy with rice, parathas, and pooris, and above all no need to chop onion, tomatoes, etc., thus saving tons of minutes.

It is an easy and quick recipe that requires minimal preparation. If you are short on time, try such quick and easy flatbread using eggs, chicken drumsticks with soy-tomato sauce, and sandwiches with veggies and mayonnaise recipes.

  • Peel and slice potatoes into small sizes. To boil potatoes, add salt and a cup of water in a pressure cooker. Cook until two whistles. Keep it aside and let it cool.
  • You can also boil potatoes in any pan covering a lid if a pressure cooker is unavailable.

Step-2 Chilli-Cashew Paste

  • To make the chilli-cashew paste:
    • Boil dried red chillies, and the cashew using a cup of water in a pan. Simmer for 2-3 minutes.
    • Once cooled, blend them to a smooth paste.

What to serve with curried potatoes?

This potato curry recipe delivers its maximum flavor when served with hot poori or puri. But, it can also be enjoyed with:

  • Steamed white rice
  • Parathas
  • Roti or chapati
  • Bread or naan
  • Chicken drumsticks.

There is no comparison of chutneys when these are served with curry recipes. Try green chutney or carrot chutney recipes. These chutneys take potatoes to the next level in terms of flavor, taste, and aroma especially when served with pooris.

More to try!

  • Add tomatoes while blending chilli-cashew paste for a zingy flavor
  • You may also substitute lemon juice with chat masala or vinegar.
  • For a more flavorful spicer version, you can add more spices like curry leaves, cloves, star anise, cinnamon, and bay leaf while preparing the curry.

Tips

  • Cumin enhances the taste and aids digestion, so I highly recommend adding cumin seeds to the potato curry.
  • Blend the chilli-cashew to a smooth paste.
  • Butter is optional, but it enhances the flavor.
  • Add water if you prefer the thin consistency of the curry.
  • Refrigerate the leftover potato curry which can be used for up to 4 days.

    I love how easy this is to make and am so intrigued by the cashew chili paste! We are trying to eat more vegetarian meals throughout the week and when we're short on time, too, this would be so perfect! I'm adding to my 'to make' list.
