Dahi Wale Aloo

🇮🇳 Indian

Potatoes simmered in a whisked yogurt gravy, the weeknight dish every North Indian home rotates. Simple, spiced straight-talk food — no gravy to hide behind. Pile beside phulka and a bowl of cooled yogurt.

Prep 10 min Cook 28 min Serves 2 Medium

Ingredients

  • Yogurt2 cups, whisked
  • Ginger Garlic Paste1 tbsp
  • Garam Masala1/2 tsp
  • Kasuri Methi1 tbsp
  • Saltto taste
  • Onion1, finely chopped
  • Tomato2, chopped
  • Green Chili1-2, slit
  • Cumin Seeds1 tsp
  • Coriander Powder1 tsp
  • Turmeric Powder1/2 tsp
  • Vegetable Oil2 tbsp
  • Potato3 medium, cubed
  • Red Chili Powder1 tsp
  • Green Cardamom1 tsp

Optional extras

  • Fresh Cilantro2 tbsp, chopped

Instructions

  1. 1

    Pat the potato dry and chop it into similar-sized chunks — dry surfaces brown better.

  2. 2

    Warm the oil, add cumin and a pinch of asafoetida, then the onions — cook till bronzed at the edges.

  3. 3

    Tip in the ginger garlic paste and green chilies, then the spices — fry until the oil separates at the edges.

  4. 4

    Turn the potato through the masala with the yogurt, clamp on a lid and let the steam work — check after 10 minutes.

  5. 5

    Uncover, raise the heat for two minutes to dry off any liquid, then shower with cilantro and a squeeze of lemon.

Chef's tip

A final squeeze of lemon or lime right before serving wakes up every other flavour.
