Notes

  1. You can prepare the Aloo Curry in open pot. To prepare it in open pot, boil the potatoes beforehand. It helps in preparing the recipe in less time. If you are using raw potatoes, it will take more time to cook the potatoes.
  2. The quantity of water should be added as per the requirement of the thickness of the gravy. Add less water if you want to make thick gravy. Add more water to make the gravy thinner.
  3. If the gravy becomes watery, you can slightly mash the potatoes. It makes the gravy thicker.
  4. Adding of Kasuri Methi is optional. You can skip it if you want to. However addition of Kasuri Methi increases the flavour of Aloo Curry .
