Aloo Pyaz Subzi Recipe [Pics]
Aloo Pyaz Sabzi is a blend of the calorie dense Potato with the healthy Onions. It is considered a quick and fast option subzi, if you cannot think of a an alternative.
It is also a cheap proposition in the sense of overall cost due to its 2 primary ingredients. Yes, my tongue was under my teeth while saying this….as Onion is notorious for its price fluctuations particularly in India. I have never seen a stock market stock going such huge rounds, than the price of Onions.
Anyways, here is the tried and tested recipe of Aloo Pyaz straight from our kitchen. I hope you would also share your suggestions and improvisations.
- 2 Number Potato (4 Inch in Size, Sliced Vertically)
- 1 Number Onion (Sliced in longer pieces)
- 2 Number Green Chili (Each 3 Inch in height. Slit into 2 pieces vertically. )
- 1/2 Tsp Cumin Seeds
- 2 Pinch Asafoetida (Hing)
- 1/2 Tsp Salt (or to taste)
- 1/2 Tsp Red Chili Powder
- 1/4 Tsp Garam Masala
- 1/2 Tsp Coriander Powder
- 1/2 Tsp Mango Powder (Amchoor)
- 1/4 Tsp Turmeric Powder
- 3 Tbsp Oil
- Not to mention that Potato and Onion be sliced into small pieces unless you want them to eat in the same shape as they are sold .
- Lets start straight from the stove as no other preparations are required. Add Oil in a pan and heat it on high flame preferably for about 2 minutes.
- Add Cumin Seeds and Asafoetida. Let them fry for 30 seconds on high flame or until Cumin seeds turn dark brown in color.
- Now, is the time to add Onion and fry it for about 1 minute. The Onion needs to be fried else it would feel raw while eating.
- Add Potatoes and Green Chilies Slit them into 2 pieces before adding. Mix them well with Onions. Cook on medium flame for 2 minutes. Stir occasionally.
- Turn the stove to low flame and add the spices at this point.
- Sprinkle Salt, Red Chili, Coriander, Mango Powder, Turmeric Powder. Mix well.
- Cover the pan with the lid and cook until potatoes get soft or approximately 10 minutes. Stir occasionally to avoid burning.
- You can pork the Potatoes with the knife or spatula to check their readiness after 10 minutes of cooking. If they cut easily with spatula they are ready.
- Sprinkle Garam masala and mix well. Switch Off the stove.
- They are now ready to serve hot.
- Aloo Pyaz subzi can be served with any bread like Poori/Paratha or Chapati and is primarily part of main course meal. Remember, it is a dry subzi, so you may like to add one more gravy rich subzi if you are thinking of serving a party.
- The subzi can be refrigerated for about 3-4 days and consumed with re-heating in a Microwave or stove top while serving.
