Pakistani Style Aloo Ka Salan/Tarkari image

This is the most basic way of making potatoes in Karachi, Pakistan. Its best served with "Hara Raita" & Roti/Chapati. Some people also serve it with Daal Chawal as a side dish. Me & my siblings are all grown ups now but this is one dish we request our mother to make when we visit her. Lets just say this is OUR comfort food along some other Pakistani dishes. Note: If you are not big on spicy/hot food then you can adjust the amount of red chili powder.

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 medium potatoes diced into small cubes
1 medium onion finely chopped
1 tsp garlic ginger paste
1/2 tsp crushed red chili flakes
1/2 tsp red chili powder
1/4 tsp turmeric powder (haldi)
2 medium tomatoes chopped
1 1/2 tsp salt or to taste
2 cups water or as needed
1/3 cup oil
1/2 tsp cumin seeds (zeera)
1/2 tsp nigella seeds (kalongi)
1/4 tsp mustard seeds (rye)
1/2 tsp fennel seeds (saunf)
1/4 tsp carom seeds (ajwain)

Steps:

  • In a pot or pan, add oil, onion and all dry spices and heat at medium flame until the onions become light brown.
  • Then add all the other spices, salt and tomatoes. Reduce the flame to medium low and cover the pot. Allow tomatoes to soften up for 5 mins.
  • Once the tomatoes soften up, add potatoes along with 2 cups of water.
  • Cover the pot once more and let the potatoes simmer for 15 mins at medium low flame.
  • The potatoes in this curry are super soft, and over cooked. The overcooking causes some of the fine potato pieces to become mushy and give this dish a thick curry base.
  • Once you reach the desired consistency, turn off the flame and serve with parathas, or halwa puri (fried flatbread)
