Aloo Tamatar Sabji Recipe

Aloo Tamatar Sabji Recipe offered to Krishna in a black bowl, garnished with fresh coriander.

Hare Krishna Aloo Tamatar Sabji is a simple and flavorful potato and tomato curry perfect for Ekadashi. This easy-to-make curry combines boiled potatoes with a tomato-based sauce, creating a comforting and hearty dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium potatoes, boiled, peeled, and cubed
  • 3 medium tomatoes, pureed
  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1 teaspoon red chili powder (optional)
  • Rock salt (sendha namak) to taste
  • 2 tablespoons ghee
  • Fresh coriander leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat Ghee: In a pan, heat ghee over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them crackle.
  2. Add Spices: Add grated ginger (if using), turmeric powder, and red chili powder. Sauté for a minute until fragrant.
  3. Add Tomatoes: Add the tomato puree and cook until the ghee starts to separate from the tomatoes.
  4. Add Potatoes: Add the boiled and cubed potatoes, rock salt, and a little water. Mix well and let it simmer for 5-7 minutes.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Garnish with fresh coriander leaves if desired. Serve hot with puris or rotis.

Notes

  • Tomato Preparation: Blanching the tomatoes before pureeing can make the sauce smoother and richer in flavor.
  • Consistency Adjustment: If you prefer a thicker gravy, reduce the amount of water added. For a thinner consistency, add more water and let it simmer longer.
  • Spice Level: Adjust the chili powder according to your heat preference or omit it entirely for a milder curry.
  • Serving Suggestion: This sabji pairs wonderfully with Kuttu Ki Puri or Singhare Ki Puri for a complete Ekadashi meal.
