Aloo, being everyone’s favorite is made often in most of the households. My kids love aloo, so does my husband. I was thinking of making a different flavor in aloo, so planned on making Achaari Aloo (Pickled Potatoes).
My 4yr son loves potatoes but he only eats it one way. So today when I gave him to eat, I thought he will say I don’t this aloo mama..But I was surprised to hear that, “Mama, the orange aloo is yummy.” He just made my day.
The Achaari Masala is such a versatile spice that you can put it in anything and it will taste good. This has been on my list for a while now, but then something or the other.
Achaari Aloo is full of loads of flavor and is such an quick and easy dish to prepare. I always have Achaari Masala in my pantry. Love the flavors of fennel seeds, onion seeds, mustard seeds…Pickling spice gives aloo the spicy, tangy flavor and a lovely aroma. One can use small whole baby potatoes or the regular potatoes cut into cubes.
Ingredients:
- 6-8 medium sized potatoes
- 1 large onion, cubed
- 1 tsp mustard seeds
- 2 whole dry red chilies
- salt to taste
- 1-2 green chilies, chopped
- 1-2 tsp achaari masala (used homemade)
- 3/4 tsp garam masala
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3/4 tsp red chili powder
- 1/2 tsp paprika powder
- 2 tbsp yogurt
Directions:
Boil the potatoes, don’t over boil so they become mushy. Drain and set them aside to cool down. Peel them and cut it into cubes.
In a kadhai, add oil and heat it up. Add mustard seeds and whole red chilies and let it splutter. Then add cubes onions. Sauté for a couple of minutes until translucent.
Then add the potatoes, green chilies along with all the spices and mix well. Cover it for a couple of minutes. Now add yogurt and mix it well. Cover it again. Let the flavors marry.
These flavorful Achaari Aloo are ready in a jiffy to be served with a paratha, puri or chapati per your choice. I enjoyed it with masoor dal and chaawal.
