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.  you just need few boiled potatoes, some curd and the regular basic Indian spices to make this dahi aloo curry. Some people also add tomatoes in it but then the taste changed , but again it is personal preference. The traditional recipe is made with curd only.

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.

This is a no onion garlic recipe like all my recipes. The method is very simple, you have to roughly mash the potatoes with your hands , don’t chop with knife. whisk the curd . In the tempering add the spices , then the curd , followed by the mashed potatoes and then add water  . Boil for few minutes and your delicious curry will be ready to enjoy. serve with poori, paratha or kachori.

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.

  • 1/4 tsp Asafoetida/ Hing

Instructions

  • Take boiled and peeled potatoes in a bowl and roughly mash them(don’t make a paste )

    Due to the addition of wheat flour in curd, it will not curdle .

  • Add the tempering ingredients ,when seeds start crackling ,add slit green chilies and saute for a few seconds.
  • Remove the pan from the flame and add all the powdered spices(turmeric,chili powder,coriander powder)
  • Immediately add beaten yogurt and stir once.(see the tips)
  • Put the pan on the gas and add boiled potatoes and ginger and mix.
  • Add water (depends on how thick or thin curry you prefer)
  • Now add salt and let it boil on medium flame .Keep stirring till it start boiling to avoid curdling.
  • Cook for approx 3-4 minutes on medium flame.
  • When it starts to thicken then add chopped fresh coriander and switch off the flame
  • Serve hot with poori, paratha or any bread of your choice.

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 wheat flour /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.
