Garlic Potato Recipe:- How to make smoky, flavourful and tasty Garlic Potato at home?

garlic aloo

Garlic Potato: Potatoes roasted in freshly made chilli, garlic and ginger. These sookhe aloo taste best with pooris, parathas and simple dal rice.

Sometimes most simple food tastes most amazing and that is very true with this garlic potatoes. They are packed with flavors and super simple to do. I just love them and can even eat them like a snack. I learned these sukha aloo from my mother in law. She makes awesome and delicious food. There is something good about mom’s food. It is made with simple everyday spices yet tastes delicious. Isn’t it?

Don’t confuse these garlicy potatoes with any Indo-Chinese recipe. This is pure traditional Indian recipe made with fresh spices and masala. I have used chopped green chilli in this recipe but if don’t like it you can skip it. You can also substitute it with chilli flakes. It also goes very well with these potatoes. Today I have used baby potatoes but you can also use regular potatoes, just cut them in bite size after boiling. It is very important that when you make these sookhe aloo (dry gravy potatoes) you keep the flame at medium to medium-low otherwise masala and spices may burn and taste bitter. Roast these potatoes in spices till they are well coated with masala.

You can serve these garlicky potatoes as appetizer too. Just insert the toothpick and they are ready to go. You can also accompany them with curd dip.
