Dahi Aloo is a flavourful potato curry cooked and simmered in curd or yoghurt-based gravy with basic spices and whole garam masala. This curry is very easy to prepare and always come to a rescue when you don’t have vegetables at home. Curd or dahi is a base for this curry. It is always preferable to whisk the curd (dahi) well with spices and cook it on a low flame after adding it to the pan (to stop the curdling).
You can prepare this curry without onion and garlic. Omit the onion and garlic in the recipe and, your dahi aloo without onion and garlic is ready to enjoy. It goes very well with poori, paratha or naan. Serve it hot.
