Aloo tamater Ki Sabzji (Potato Tomato Gravy)

Aloo Tamater Ki Sabzi (Potato Tomato Gravy)

Hi Foodie Friends!
Today I am going to share one of the easiest and tastiest recipe of aloo ki sabzi. This sabzi does not need any special ingredients,just few spices can do wonders in your meal.

Aloo ki sabzi is one of my favourite sabzi since childhood.When i was in school I use to demand this to my mom in my Dabba (tiffin) but not only this,i also request her to make puri ,request?Yes because my mom was working,as she is retired now,so she was not having that much sufficient time to make all this kind of stuff,but Mom can never deny their children for anything specially food :-) So when she use to make my Tiffin i use to dance and shout by saying "yeah today is Aloo Puri Day" :-P.Those golden memories i miss them a lot!

This sabji can be eaten with rice also and it tastes yum..but i love to eat this with my favourite fluffy pooris .You can have some raw mango pickle also with this and it will add a tangy taste in your taste buds.I have added chilli powder but you can avoid this if your kids are not fond of spicy food.This Sabzi is a one pot meal as i have made this in pressure cooker,so its a hassle free recipe too.
So a must try recipe for your kid's dabba is here -
