ALOO KI SABJI/DRY POTATO


Aloo ki subji is a very popular dish in India. This is cooked in various style and methods. I love adding sesame seeds to this recipe as they are very rich in omega-6 fatty acids and adds right amount of crunchiness to the dish. I served it with puri.When I was a kid this was my favourite Tiffin snack. So lets begin!..

  • Lemon Juice – 1/2 tsp or Dry Mango Powder/Amchur Powder – 1/4 tsp
  • Coriander Leaves or Cilantro
