What is Aloo Tamatar Ki Subzi

Rassa is thin to medium consistency curry, Aloo is Potatoes and Tamatar is Tomatoes. Rassewale Aloo Tamatar is spicy curry of potatoes in spicy tomato gravy with simple spices like coriander powder, red chilli powder, turmeric powder.

Aloo Tamatar ki Subzi is so common everyday curry in North Indian homes and everyone has their own way of making it. You can make this curry using pre boiled potatoes in kadhai/open pan or with raw potatoes in pressure cooker. If you have traveled anywhere in Northern India to the states of Rajasthan and U.P you must have surely enjoyed Aloo Poori or Aloo Kachoris for breakfast at the local halwai (sweet)shops!!

Variations of Aloo Ki Sabzi

Another version of this curry is Bhandarewale Aloo. It is served in temples or bhandaras (community lunches). It is a more spicy version of simple Aloo Tamatar and we serve it with Pooris.

There is another variation of this curry, without tomatoes known as Hing-wale Aloo(Potato curry with asafoetida) as hing/asafoetida is used in making this curry.

Mathura ke Dubki wale Aloo is another version of potato curry which is very popular in Mathura city(in North India) and is served with Dal ki Kachoris.

Ingredients to make Aloo Tamatar

Potatoes- Pre Boiled potatoes are used to make this curry. You can also make it in pressure cooker using raw potatoes. Will cover in a different post.

Tomatoes- I prefer pureed Tomatoes in the recipe. You can also use Tomato sauce/puree (not Tomato ketchup) in the recipe if fresh tomatoes are not available.

Spices- Combination of spices like coriander powder, cumin seeds, turmeric and red chilli powder adds flavourful tase. Skip hing/asafetida for a gluten-free version.

Oil- In North India, we use mustard oil to make this curry. Also, I use ghee whenever I make it for prasad or bhog on festivals.

How to make Homestyle Aloo Tamatar Subzi

1. Boil potatoes and cool it completely. Mash potatoes in big chunks.
2. Puree tomatoes, ginger and green chillies.
3. Heat oil in a pan. Add hing and then jeera to hot oil.
4. When the seeds splutter and get light brown color, add tomato puree and cook for 2-3 minutes till it starts leaving oil.
5. Add dry spices/masala powders( coriander, red chilli and turmeric) and mix nicely. I also add ½Tsp of Kasuri Methi( dry fenugreek leaves). It gives a nice aroma and flavor to the curry.
6. Add potatoes and mix with tomato masala. Add enough water as per desired consistency. Cook for 2-3 minutes till the curry thickens a little.
7. Garnish with chopped fresh coriander.
