Submitted By: Taz
Ingredients:
Spice Blend 'Dhaba Masala':
2 Tbs Coriander Powder (Dhania Podi)
1 Tbs Kashmiri Chile Powder (Kashmiri Mirch)
1 ½ tsp Dried Mango Powder (Amchoor)
1 ½ tsp Cumin Powder (Jeera)
1 ½ tsp Garam Masala
1 tsp Kosher Salt (Namak)
½ tsp Turmeric Powder (Haldi)
½ tsp Black Salt (Kala Namak)
Sukhi Aloo Sabji:
2 lbs Yukon Gold Potatoes (Aloo) - peeled
½ Cup Plain, Whole Fat Yogurt (Dahi)
2 Tbs Ghee
3 Indian Bay Leaves (Tej Patta)
1 Fresh Green Chile (Hari Mirch) - seeds removed and minced
½ tsp Asafoetida Powder (Hing)
1 tsp Kosher Salt (Namak)
Preparation:
- Cut your peeled potatoes into large pieces (size and shape are really up to you but 1 inch 'cubes' or wedges work great) - Transfer your cut potatoes to a small/medium pot and add enough water to just cover the potatoes and add the 1 tsp of kosher salt
- Place over high heat and bring to a boil - Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and allow to cook until tender but not 'fall apart soft' (apx 15 minutes) - Drain and return to pan until needed
- While your potatoes are cooking, mix together all of the 'Dhaba Masala' ingredients in a small bowl until thoroughly combined - Set aside until needed
- Heat ghee in a large pan, wok, or kadahi over medium heat until shimmering
- Once the ghee is hot, add the bay leaves, minced green chile and asafoetida powder - Sauté for 30 seconds - Add the 'Dhaba Masala" (from Step 3) and continue to sauté for 30 seconds - Add the yogurt and continue to cook (stirring frequently) for 5 minutes
- Add your drained potatoes and thoroughly combine - Reduce heat to low and allow to cook (stirring occasionally) until most of the liquid has been absorbed/evaporated (apx 5-7 minutes)
- Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with some chopped coriander leaves if desired - Serve as an appetizer, over Punjabi Chole or Chana Masala with chapatti or naan as a hearty lunch or dinner, or as part of a larger Indian meal
