ALOO TAMATAR SABZI | ALOO TAMATAR RECIPE | NO ONION NO GARLIC RECIPES

aloo-tamatar
Aloo tamatar sabzi is a super quick and simple recipe made with potato and tomato as main ingredient. I have given this recipe in Aval Vikatan supplement which got published in august 2014. Since it is navratri fasting for many North Indians, i thought it is the right time to post this recipe. I am sure about the exact rules and regulations followed during navratri but as i know onion and garlic will not be included in the food. Even if you don't have any vegetable at home simple potatoes can make this yummy sabzi. Aloo tamatar is a  perfect side dish for poori, chapathi|roti, and jeera rice or any pulaos.

Notes:
  • If it is too thick you can add little water and bring it to boil.
  • If you find this is bit thin, mash few potatoes and bring it to boil.
  • If you want to make it a onion garlic version, add ginger garlic paste after adding cumin seeds.
  • Finely chopped onions can be added before adding tomatoes.
