Dahi ke aloo ki sabzi–Potato and yogurt soup/Potatoes cooked in a creamy and tangy yogurt sauce

Dahi ke Aloo/Dahi waale Aloo/Dahi Aloo  is a popular curry in North India. Boiled and mashed potatoes are cooked in a creamy and tangy yogurt sauce with basic spices.

It is a very simple and easy to cook dish as very few spices are needed to make this delicious curry. Dahi ke Aloo  can be served with Rotis and Parathas, but in Uttar Pradesh it is usually served with Methi Bajra Poori, Kachori  or Bedvi Pooris.

You can also serve this as a fasting food/vrat ka khana, in which case you may substitute chili powder with black pepper powder if you avoid eating chili powder during fasting.

You may also serve this with these crisp poori’s-

Notes

Tips and Notes-
  • To avoid curdling of yogurt in the curry-use chilled yogurt and beat it well ,remove the pan from the flame while adding the curd,keep stirring the curry while cooking for approx 2-3 minutes or till it start boiling after adding the curd.
  • You may also add 1 tsp gram flour/besan or refined flour/maida in the yogurt to avoid curdling.
  • Add a piece of mango pickle at step -9  for a tangy achari flavour.
  • You can make the curry with either fresh or slightly sour curd,depending on your choice and can add 1/2 to 1 tsp of  lemon juice if using fresh yogurt.
  • Boiled and refrigerated cold potatoes give best result. I always boil the potatoes and keep refrigerated for some time before making dahi waley aloo.
