aloo sabzi for puri | recipe of puri bhaji | poori potato masala | aloo curry for puri with detailed photo and video recipe. a purpose-based curry recipe made with mashed boiled potatoes in a spicy tomato and onion curry base. unlike other typical indian curries, it requires minimal ingredients to prepare and requires only a few minutes to prepare it. it is an ideal spicy curry served alongside puffed poori, but can be served with any types of indian flatbreads or even with plain rice.
i have always been a huge fan of potato-based recipes. be it a snack, soup, street food or curry, potato-based are always my personal favourite. with respect to the curries, there are various types of it and purpose-based ones. poori potato masala is one such where the gravy flavour and the mashed potatoes are prepared in such a way that it goes well with deep-fried poori’s. the curry base is a mixture of tanginess, spiciness and loaded with kasuri methi and garam masala flavour. basically, this variation is generally served in north india especially in celebrations and marriage functions. hence it is also referred to as poori wala aloo ki sabzi recipe.
furthermore, some more additional tips, suggestions and variations to the aloo curry for puri. firstly, i would heavily recommend pressure cook the potatoes/vegetables separately and do not attempt to cook it with the gravy. also once the potatoes are cooked, i would recommend mashing it with your hands roughly with some lumps not mashed. secondly, try to use ripe and juicy tomatoes which not only introduces tanginess but also a sweetness to the gravy base. i would personally recommend using ripe roma tomatoes for the best results. lastly, the curry is typically made with generous amount oil and hence do not try to compromise with it. you may also use ghee or butter as a replacement for the oil.
