Bedmi Aloo Sabzi (potato curry) is served with Bedmi Poori and hence the name. This preparation of aloo is quick and easy to make. Made without using garlic and onion this is a satvik recipe and is made during festivals also.
The gravy is made from tomatoes and various spices and as a result the gravy is thin but flavourful. This is a very quick recipe to make, and you only need to plan and boil the potatoes ahead of time.
