Aloo Ki Sabzi is a traditional Indian style potato curry without onion or garlic. It is a flavorsome, gluten-free, vegan Indian curry. This potato curry is best served with piping hot poori and delicious raita of choice on the side. 

Mathura Style Aloo Ki Sabzi

Mathura Style Aloo Ki Sabzi

Mathura (Uttar Pradesh) is a holy city in India that is of immense historical/religious importance. It is a town of great color, culture, and cuisine.

The spiritual significance of this place also impacts the cuisine of the region.

The cuisine of Mathura is mainly sattvic, rich in dairy, and mainly revolves around fresh produce.

This aloo ki sabzi provides energy and keeps you fulfilled for a longer time, which is essential while following a sattvic diet.

A dish that feels like tradition and tastes just like the festive season. Following closely in the footsteps of the arbi ki sabji recipe that I recently shared with you guys is this Mathura Style Aloo Ki Sabzi.

During the festive season in India, most of us follow a traditional Indian meal menu and go with wholesome no-onion/garlic dishes. 

Hence, this Mathura style dubki wale aloo is just perfect for the purpose.

For an authentic flavor, use either mustard oil or ghee for cooking this potato curry.

The key flavoring ingredients of this potato curry are – asafoetida, fenugreek, and ginger.

How To Make Aloo Ki Sabzi in Pressure Cooker?

If you are looking for a curry in a hurry, then this potato curry recipe is the best. To make it in a pressure cooker or instant pot, no need to boil the potatoes separately. Peel and dice the potatoes.

Next, prepare the curry as suggested in the recipe below, add potatoes, and approximately two cups of water. Cook the potato curry over low heat for 2 – 3 whistles or 10 minutes.

Allow the steam to release naturally from the pressure cooker. Next, open the lid and gently mash the potatoes using the back of the ladle.

Sprinkle dried fenugreek leaves (kasuri methi), green chili, and plentiful of chopped fresh coriander.

The scrumptious potato curry is ready to serve.

Serving Suggestions

There’s something so pure about making an entire meal of aloo ki sabzi – the aroma of the spices spluttering in the hot ghee, the tangy gravy being stirred in a kadhai, the hot puris puffing up. A treat for the culinary senses.

The spicy, soupy vegan potato curry along with poori or paratha, raita, homemade pickle, and masala tea does a fantastic job at satisfying your festive cravings.

I love to tuck into this bit of yumminess on a beautiful winter morning for indulgent Indian breakfast and be thankful for all that we have – family, friends, and good food.
