Jul 21, 2020 No boiling the potatoes separately, one pot recipe and this pairs so well with puri.
Dhaba food holds a special place in my heart and I am sure that is true for most Indians. For my non-Indian readers who don’t know what dhaba is, it refers to roadside restaurants in India. There are dhabas all throughout India especially on highways and some of them are super popular. They are especially popular for their spicy and flavorful food like parathas, dal makhani, dal tadka or drinks like lassi etc. Aloo ki sabzi (spiced potato curry) is another dhaba favorite. Most the these dhabas have their own way of making it but one this is for sure, they are all delicious and spicy! When I used to make this sabzi earlier at home, I would always boil the potatoes first, crush them slightly and then make the curry. However with my Instant Pot, now I do everything is one-pot and that makes it so much more simpler! And it still tastes just as good.
This Dhaba Style Aloo Rasedar
✔ is spicy and flavorful. ✔pairs so well with puris or parathas. ✔makes an easy one-pot dish. ✔can be made vegan by using oil in place of ghee. For this aloo rasedar recipe, I have used ghee since that adds to the flavor in my opinion. If you want to keep this vegan, do use oil in place of ghee. This recipe uses lot of spices like coriander, fennel, amchur (dried mango powder), kashmiri red chili powder, kasuri methi and garam masala. These spices makes this sabzi so aromatic and flavorful. In stead of boiling the potatoes first, I prepare the curry base first, then add the diced potatoes and pressure cook. Once the potatoes are cooked through, then I crush them slightly (don’t mash them) using a potato masher and simmer on “saute mode” for couple of minutes. The curry thickens as it simmers. It’s really so easy and you will be so happy with how this one turns out. Keep in mind, that dhaba food generally means hot and spicy, and while I have added lots of spices to the curry, it is not very hot. And that’s because I do not like very spicy food. If you prefer spicy food, please add 2 to 3 green chilies in place of the 1 that I have added in this recipe.
Serving Suggestions
This aloo rasedar pairs so well with puri or kachori, it is my favorite way to have it! But you can also eat it with rice, roti or plain paratha. I hope you guys enjoy this simplified version of dhaba style aloo sabzi. We for sure loved it!
Method
1- Press the saute button on the Instant Pot. Once it displays hot, add the ghee and then add the cumin seeds and methi seeds. Let them sizzle for few seconds and then dried red chilies and hing. 2- Stir and then add the chopped ginger and green chili. Saute for 1 minute. 3- Then add the pureed tomatoes and mix well. 4- Add the spices- coriander powder, turmeric, kashmiri red chili powder, amchur, fennel powder. Cook for 1 minute.
5- Add the diced potatoes and stir. 6- Then add the salt and mix. 7- Add water and stir and close the pot with the lid. 8- Press the manual or pressure cook button and cook on high pressure for 3 minutes with the pressure valve in the sealing position. Let the pressure release naturally for 4 minutes and then do a quick pressure release.
9- Open the lid and press the saute button. Then with a potato masher lightly mashed the potatoes. 10- You don’t have to mash them completely, just slightly crushed as shown in the picture. 11- Add kasuri methi. 12-And garam masala. Simmer on saute for 2 minutes, the curry will thicken as it simmers. You can add more water here if you want to thin out the curry a little. I did add 2 tablespoons extra water here.
Garnish with cilantro and serve aloo rasedar with kachori or puri!
