Notes

Shilpi’s Quick Tricks
  • Boil potatoes ahead of time and cool them before adding to tomato gravy. If you add hot potatoes they will become too mushy and sabzi will not taste good.
  • Here I have used the tomatoes which are not very sour. If you think your tomatoes are very soup decrease the quantity of tomatoes.
  • It is very important to cook the tomatoes in spices till oil is separated otherwise you can feel the smell of tomatoes in sabzi.
  • After sabzi is completely cooked smash 2 -3 pieces of potatoes with spatula. This will give thickness and taste to the gravy.
  • I have added Kashmiri lal mirch to give some color. If you do not like it you can skip it.
  • You can make this sabzi semi dry or jhol (runny) according to your choice.
