Dahi Aloo is a tasty North Indian curry where soft potatoes blend in a simple spiced yogurt gravy. It’s quick, comforting, and perfect with roti or rice. We’re using the Suncasa Impact Pro Luxe Deep Kadhai with glass lid.
Ingredients (Serves 4)
3 large potatoes (about 300g)
1 cup fresh curd/yogurt
2–2½ tbsp besan (gram flour)
1½ cups water
2 tbsp oil
½ tsp cumin seeds
⅓ cup onion, finely chopped
1 tsp ginger, finely chopped
1 tsp garlic, finely chopped
1 tsp green chili, finely chopped
7–8 curry leaves
Pinch of hing
⅓ cup tomato, finely chopped
¼ tsp turmeric powder
¼–½ tsp red chili powder (as per taste)
½ tsp coriander powder
Salt, to taste
½ tsp garam masala
2 tbsp fresh coriander leaves, chopped
Instructions
- Boil potatoes till soft (you can pressure cook for 3–4 whistles). Peel and roughly crumble or cut them and keepaside.
- In a bowl, whisk curd and besan till smooth. Add 1½ cups water. Whisk again to form a thin, lump-free slurry. Set it aside.
- Heat oil in your Deep Kadhai, then add cumin seeds; let them crackle.
- Add onions; sauté till translucent. Add ginger, garlic, and green chili and fry for 30 seconds.
- Add curry leaves and hing; mix well.
- Add chopped tomatoes; cook till soft and oil separates (about 3–4 minutes).
- Add turmeric, red chili powder, coriander powder and mix well.
- Add crumbled potatoes and sauté for 2 minutes so potatoes are coated with masala.
- Pour Yogurt Mix, stirring quickly so the curd doesn’t split.
- Keep flame low and cook for 8–10 minutes till gravy thickens up. If it looks too thick, add a little water.
- Add salt and garam masala, and mix them well. Sprinkle fresh coriander to garnish it well.
- Serve hot with chapati, roti, or rice!
Pro Tips:
- For richer taste, add a spoon of ghee at the end.
- Always use fresh curd because sour yogurt can curdle more easily.
- Adjust spice and water for your family’s liking.
