Rajasthani Dahi Aloo sabji – potato cubes cooked in a tangy creamy yogurt sauce

Rajasthani Dahi aloo sabji is a popular potato curry from The Marwaad region. It is a simple to make with easily available ingredients in your pantry yet taste so delicious. This dahi aloo sabji is a no onion garlic curry and tomatoes are also not added in this. This is made just with basic spices and yogurt. It is often enjoyed with paratha , poori or bedmi’s

Rajasthan was a dry state and so there was quite a scarcity of fresh vegetables hence most of the curries are made using gram flour, sun dried wild berries and dairy products. This is also a very traditional way of making potato curry in Rajasthan.

Like most of the recipes this dahi aloo sabji also have many variation as per the preference of each family. Many people also use onion garlic in this curry but the traditional recipe is made with only yogurt and potatoes.

U.P style style dahi aloo is different and simpler then this dahi aloo recipe. Potatoes are not fried in that ,  mashed potatoes are simmered in thin yogurt curry.

How to Make Dahi Ke Aloo-

For making Rajasthani Dahi Ke Aloo , I prefer to use baby potatoes but you can also use normal potatoes in it. First of all boil the potatoes in salted water, Peel and cut into two and then sauté in some oil to give a nice crust.

Whisk curd and add besan and all the dry spices in it except salt and mix. In a pan heat some oil and add black cardamom, cumin, bay leaf and asafoetida. Now add the curd mix and stir till it become thick and oil start to ooze out. Now add the potatoes and stir to mix. Add water and salt and give it a boil till then keep stirring else it may curdle.

After about 2 minutes add garam masala and fresh coriander and switch off the flame and let the curry rest for 5 minutes. Then enjoy with poori, paratha or kachoris.
