    Easy Aloo Sabzi (Potato Curry)

    This quick and Easy Aloo Sabzi is a family favorite and my go to on busy days. As I cooked it the other day I was surprised I hadn't shared it on the blog yet!

    I mean who doesn't like potatoes? This is great on it's own as a vegetarian option with some Naan, or paired with seekh kebab and some raita.

    The options are limitless and there are so many pairings that it's difficult to list them all. I'll list a few at the end of this post and let your imagination take over from there!

    Easy aloo sabzi

    Potatoes were not a part of South Asian Cuisine until Portuguese traders introduced us to them in the early 17th century. But they quickly gained popularity due to their ability to adapt to the flavors of the dish being prepared.

    Add to that the fact that they were affordable, filling and easy to store and they quickly became a very popular vegetable. In fact they are possibly the most popular vegetable globally!

    HEALTH FACTS

    Potatoes have gotten a bad reputation over the years with low carb diets being so popular. However, in reality, potatoes contain many nutritious properties as mountainharvestfoods.com lists:

    • Fat free
    • High in fibre
    • Loaded with Vitamin B
    • High in Vitamin C
    • Contain lots of Potassium
    • Hydrating (Yes! Potatoes are 80% water)

    As you can see the case for adding potatoes to your diet is strong. Which is great for me because I love them!

    Easy Aloo Sabzi Menu Pairing Options

    Of course the aloo sabzi is great on it's own as a vegetarian option. However, Pakistanis love meat and often eat the sabzi as a side. Here are some meat recipes from the blog that you can pair the sabzi with

    Notes

    When cooking the potatoes it's important to regulate the heat and insure that the potatoes are cooked through but not overcooked.
    The cooking times and amount of water to be used are based on my cooking utensils and stove. Since yours may be different you may need to control the cooking temperature to get perfect results.
    Similarly, I usually keep the level of salt and chilies in my recipes at a medium level to accommodate different taste buds. Please adjust if necessary.
