Dahi Aloo Recipe | Dahi Wale Aloo | Aloo Dahi Ki Sabji with step-by-step photo and video recipe. Potato or aloo-based recipes and curries are a common and popular choice across India. It is mainly chosen as it is easy and simple to prepare with very little time, yet offers the same taste and texture as any premium paneer curries. One such hugely popular and simple aloo recipe is dahi aloo recipe known for its creamy and thick gravy texture.

I have shared quite a few curd or yogurt-based curry recipes, but this has to be the rich and creamiest recipe. Basically, in all my previous curry recipes, I have added yogurt directly to the vegetables with spices to make them flavored and colorful. Wheres in this recipe, I have fried and sauteed the onion and tomato paste and mixed it with yogurt. This forms the thick and creamy gravy and cooked the baby potatoes in it. While theoretically, the whole end-to-end cooking process for Dahi Wale Aloo takes more time compared to other yogurt curries, but worth spending time for it. You can follow the same basic yogurt gravy without tomato and onion paste but it may not make justice to baby potatoes. Do try this way and let me know if you prefer the other way.

Furthermore, some more related and additional tips, suggestions, and variants to the dahi aloo recipe. Firstly, I would heavily recommend using small and baby potatoes as compared to normal potatoes. Also, I have deep-fried these to cook them faster, but to make them healthy you may boil or pressure cook them before using them. Secondly, use fresh and creamy thick curd for this gravy. This helps to make it thick and also less sour. Whisk the curd thoroughly before using it. Lastly, the aloo dahi ki sabji is typically made less spicy with the addition of basic spices. But you may extend it by adding more exotic spice mix like kitchen king or curry powder to make it more flavored.
