If you are tired of eating routine vegetables every day and want to try something flavorful, making a spicy potato bhurji at home is a great option. The taste of this dish is so incredible that people will keep licking their fingers after eating it. Preparing this traditional style bhurji requires very basic ingredients that are readily available in your kitchen. Along with potatoes, you will need onions, tomatoes, and some spices to elevate the flavor. When you serve this dish with kachoris, puris, or hot rotis, everyone will praise your cooking skills.
Required Ingredients And Preparation Time
This wonderful recipe takes only 10 to 15 minutes to prepare from scratch. Rahul shared that his mother used to make aloo bhurji using this traditional method at home. Whenever there were no vegetables left at home or whenever the family craved something spicy and chatpata, his mother would whip up this dish instantly. For a family of about four people, you will need roughly half a kilogram of potatoes. Additionally, you will need four to five onions, two tomatoes, green chilies, and fresh coriander leaves. Mustard oil and cumin seeds are required for cooking, while chat masala, sabzi masala, and red chili powder can be added to enhance the taste.
Step By Step Cooking Method
The process of making this delicious dish is quite simple. First of all, wash the potatoes thoroughly and boil them properly. Once boiled, chop them into pieces like you would for any regular vegetable curry. Meanwhile, chop the onions, tomatoes, and green chilies finely. Now, take a pan and add about two large capfuls of mustard oil. Once the oil is hot, add cumin seeds and let them sizzle, then add the finely chopped onions and sauté them well. After the onions are cooked nicely, add the chopped tomatoes and green chilies to the pan.
Once the tomatoes, chilies, and onions are cooked completely, add the chopped potatoes to the mixture. Rahul Rai explained that after adding the potatoes, you need to cover the pan and wait for about 2 to 3 minutes. After 2 to 3 minutes, remove the lid, mix everything thoroughly, and wait for another 2 minutes. After waiting for those 2 minutes, your hot and spicy aloo bhurji will be ready to serve. Finally, garnish it with freshly chopped green coriander leaves so that the aroma of coriander infuses into the bhurji. You can enjoy this wonderful dish with puris, rotis, or even dal and rice.
