With Holi around the corner, its an apt time to post kachori aloo ki sabzi recipe. This flavorful UP style aloo ki sabzi is served with khasta kachori and is an integral part of the street food menu prepared by street hawkers. It is more popularly known as Mathura ki dubki wala aloo sabzi meaning potatoes dunked in water. It is a no tomato, no onion, no garlic potato curry with a loose liquidy consistency. Tangy with highly pronounced spice and aromatic notes, aloo curry uses a generous amount of cloves and black peppercorns including few green chilies and dry red chilies. Hand crushed boiled potatoes are slow cooked in lots of liquid for a long duration to absorb the flavors of the spices making it ‘extremely’ delicious and addictive. 🙂
