Dahi Masala Aloo
There are days when you don't want to spend hours in the kitchen cooking elaborate meals. That is the time when potatoes come to the rescue offering a huge range of options to get you going. Amongst a wide variety of dishes that can be made from potatoes, I guess this DAHI MASALA ALOO is one of the most simplest that makes use of only minimalist of the spices and comes together in no time. I have made it with baby potatoes, but you can also make it with the regular potatoes; just dice them in bite size pieces and you are good to go. Also, this vegetable is onion-garlic free and therefore, can be made during the fasting season too. What to serve along with these dahi masala aloo? Well, they pair really well with pooris and paranthas but can definitely be served with plain simple chapatis. Take a look at the detailed recipe below.
