Moongphali Aloo ki sabzi- Potatoes stir fried with peanuts, sesame, cumin and few Indian spices- A perfect recipe for fasting

Moongphali Aloo ki sabzi – Ganapati festival is started in Indian and people are busy in so many preparations and decorations .Houses and pooja mandaps are decorated with flower and colorful lights and so many delicious recipes are offered daily as Prashad or Naivedya to Ganapati and then distributed among the friends and family members.

There are few recipes which are specially made during this Ganesh Pooja festival but all food should be cooked without the use of onion and garlic.Some people fast during Ganapati and eat only falahari food/fasting food. This Moongphali aloo ki sabzi Ialways makes for Ganapati pooja and other fasting days.

This Moongphali aloo ki sabzi can be served as a snack or as a side dish with poori or parathas. I have used crushed peanuts in it but you can also use whole peanuts in it. You can also adjust the quantity of peanut in it ,can increase the quantity up to 1/3 cup if you wish.

As I made this stir fry for fasting , I have used pepper powder and mango powder only but you can use turmeric, chili powder, curry leaves and chopped green chilies if you wish. It tastes awesome both ways. I have used Cooking oil for making this aloo ki sabzi but you can also use ghee which gives an awesome flavor to this stir-fry.

I have posted many recipes for fasting-
