Ingredients for Chutney wale Aloo

To make Chutney wale Aloo, you can use boiled baby potatoes or any other regular potatoes. While making  this dish to be served as starter, I prefer to make with baby potatoes. Cut regular potatoes in bite sized cubes to make the dish.

Green chutney is made with fresh cilantro/coriander and mint leaves.Recipe here. Skip garlic from green chutney if you want  a no-onion no-garlic dish. Many people in India, avoid food with onion and garlic and many do it  on some festivals. These chutney wale aloo is a perfect dish to cook something different other than your usual potato recipe.

Other spices used are cumin seeds, coriander powder, turmeric powder, red chilli powder and dry mango powder. All the spices are available at most of the grocery store outside India. Dry Mango powder is available at India grocery store. You can also use lemon juice if it is not available . You can also use lemon and pepper seasoning to give a tangy flavor to the dish.

How to make Chutneywale Aloo

First step is to boil potatoes. Wash potatoes nicely and boil it in pressure cooker or in open pan. I boil potatoes in stove-top pressure cooker, till one whistle, then let the pressure go on it's own. The potatoes used for the dish should not be over boiled, as the dish won't taste good with over soft  potatoes.

Make green chutney. For that grind all the ingredients under chutney section. Adjust green chillies level in chutney as per your heat tolerance.

Many people like to deep fry boiled potatoes and then saute the potatoes in spices and chutney. I do not deep fry potatoes, just saute it and add all the dry powdered  spices except amchur powder as we add it in end..
