Rassewale Aloo Tamatar

Rassewale Aloo Tamatar Subji. I think is cooked in all Indian houses. My mom made rassewale aloo (aloo in gravy) and the best part about her recipe was to keep it very simple and easy. I made aloo ki subji so many times but I always missed the flavours that is present in her cooking, so I rang her today and asked what was I missing; she mentioned that I must keep it very uncomplicated-no garlic, ginger and garam masala. So I made it!.....It was good but Mom is the Best!!!  :-)
