Vrat ke Aloo is a very easy fasting vrat recipe which I am sharing today. This curry is made without onion and garlic in tomato gravy. There are many versions of making these vrat ke aloo, it depends on the preference of each house hold. This is my favorite potato curry which I often make during fasting and on normal days too. It is simply delicious and easy to make.
I have also posted some other fasting recipes like Jeera Aloo Recipe, Spinach Raita Recipe, Mango Milkshake Recipe, sabudana Vada Recipe,Sabudana Chaat,Sabudana Khichdi
Let’s go through the recipe.
Ingredients
2 medium potatoes
½ tsp turmeric(optional)
2 medium tomatoes
1 Tbsp finely shredded ginger
1 green chili, chopped
½ tsp cumin seeds
2 cups water
1 tbsp oil
Sendha namak(Rock salt) to taste
Method
Boil the potatoes and once cool down peel off the skin and cut the potatoes into medium pieces.
Heat a oil in a thick bottom non-stick pan. Crackle the cumin seeds, now add the ginger and green chilies and sauté for a minute until the raw aroma of ginger is disappears. Add turmeric powder. Now add the chopped tomatoes and sauté till the oil starts to leave the sides of the mixture. Stir often when tomatoes are cooking.
Till now tomatoes would have become mushy. Now add the potatoes in the tomato gravy and mix to coat the masala on potatoes. Add water, salt and let it simmer on low flame till the gravy thickens a wee bit. You may mash some pieces of potatoes to thicken gravy more.
Finally garnish with coriander leaves and serve vrat ke aloo piping hot with some fasting recipes like kuttu paratha (buckwheat flour) or rajgira puri.
