Vrat Aloo Sabzi

Kankana Saxena
This Vrat Aloo Sabzi I learned from my Mother in law and I absolutely love how simple yet so comforting it is. It is paired best with Kuttu Poori.

Ingredients
 

  • Boiled Potatoes (I use 2 medium size, 6 oz each)
  • ½ teaspoon black mustard seeds
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • salt to taste
  • ½ cup water
  • 1 or 2 fresh green chili
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped cilantro leaves

Instructions
 

  • Slice the boiled potatoes into tiny bite size pieces.
  • In a heavy bottom wok or pan, add the oil and then scatter the black mustard seeds. It will splatter, so be careful.
  • Drop the diced potatoes and stir it around. Add a little salt to taste and stir around for 2 minutes.
  • Add water just enough to make gravy, drop the green chili and now simmer for 5 minutes. I like to mash a few of the potato pieces, as that makes the gravy thick.
  • Finally, add the finely chopped cilantro leaves and stir it around.
  • Check for salt and add more if needed.
  • Enjoy this super simple utterly comforting aloo sabzi with kuttu poori.

Notes

This recipe is typically for Vrat (fasting) and that's why I have not added any turmeric or any other spices. You can definitely spike it up with spices of choice and add turmeric for the gorgeous color.
