Vrat Wale Aloo Recipe | Upvas Aloo Sabzi – 2 Ways | Fasting Curry with step-by-step photo and video recipe. Vrat or fasting is typically assumed as monotonous or less flavoured due to the way it is prepared. these are generally prepared without onions and garlic and moreover with a cut-down version of added spices. yet this post of vrat wale aloo ki sabzi would prove you wrong and tastes like just another premium curry to relish with a choice of bread or rice variant.

I have posted so many curry recipes and particularly the potato-based curry. each recipe is uniquely different from the other and can be used for various types of meals. in other words, the potato is a versatile vegetable and can be used in myriad ways. continuing the tradition I am posting one of the simple yet tasty potato curry recipes specifically prepared during the Vrat and fasting season. at a high level, there is no onion and garlic in this recipe, which is strictly avoided in fasting recipes. it also uses a combination of spices which is not used during the Vrat season. while the selection of spices is controversial and may change as per region, I have tried to not use those collectively and thus cater for all the regions. irrespective of the fasting season, you can also prepare it for day-to-day lunch and dinner and enjoy it with your friends and family.

Furthermore, some additional tips, suggestions and variants to the vrat wale aloo recipe. firstly, I have separately pressure-cooked potatoes and mashed them before mixing them into the tomato base. this not only helps to hasten the cooking process but also helps to improve the curry consistency. secondly, I would heavily recommend using juicy and ripe tomatoes for this recipe so that it gives complete flavour and also a bright colour. I have specifically added sugar to balance the sour taste, but if you prefer a tangy taste, you may skip it. lastly, the set of ingredients used in this recipe is specific to vrat, but you may customise it if you wish to prepare it on other days. you may add onion and garlic to prepare a simple aloo curry recipe.
