Badi Aur Aloo ki Jhol

🇮🇳 Indian

Sun-dried badis with potato in a thin curry, the UP home-style jhol. A proper gravy curry — the kind that demands something bread-shaped for mopping. Ladle over steamed rice with sliced onions on the side.

Chef's tip

Fresh spices make the dish — if yours smell of nothing, the dish will taste of nothing.
