Bhandare wale aloo ki sabji halwai style
Today, I am writing about Bhandare wale aloo Sabji, a no onion, no garlic recipe. Bhandare Wale Aloo Ki Sabji is a potato curry, Which is popularly served after the Hawan and pooja in an open meal system called Bhandara,
A Bhandara is a meal served after a religious function and is strictly Sattvic(no onion and garlic) in nature.
In Bhandara, people sit in rows and are served a free meal comprising of poori, Bhandari wale aloo, a dry sabzi, and a Halwa at the end, though this curry is served as ‘prasad. We can also enjoy it as an occasional treat at home.
When I have to cook something quickly, I make this Aloo Ki sabji, also called Vrat Wale Aloo Tamater ki Sabzi, Popularly served with Puri or Paratha.
The best part about this dish is that it is easy to prepare and quickly gets done, in this recipe, the gravy was Prepared first and then raw potato pieces were added to the tomato gravy and pressure-cooked, Which makes the process quick and easy.
This aloo ki sabzi or curry is thin in texture, with the gravy prepared with tomatoes. This Potato curry is flavorful with a slightly sour taste and is best enjoyed with Kachori, Poori and paratha.
