We usually make potato masala for poori. Apart from the South Indian version we make the North Indian style Aloo masala too. This one is a super easy one without the addition of onion and garlic. Many people always run out of ideas when it comes to the No onion no garlic version of the Side dish for chapati. This potato sabzi recipe my mom used to make during our childhood days. Those days chapati is a very rare thing at home. We used to consume more Idli and dosa. Whenever amma makes chapati, she makes Veg kurma as side dish. During one of the summer holidays, my mom learned this recipe from my athai. Onion and garlic are not widely used in our cooking those days. We used to enjoy this along with chapati and poori.

Boil the potatoes till they are soft. I cooked in a pressure cooker for 4 whistles.Take out the skin and roughly mash it and keep it aside.
Grind the tomatoes, ginger, coriander seeds, and ½ tsp cumin seeds into a fine paste.
In a pan add oil and add ½ tsp of cumin seeds.Once it starts crackling, add the ground tomato paste to this.Add turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt to this.
Mix well and cook this for 2 minutes.Now add the potatoes.Mix well and add 1 cup of water.
Cover this and cook for 5 -7 minutes.Stir in between.If you feel the gravy is thick, add a little more water and boil for a minute.
Switch off the flame.Garnish with finely chopped coriander leaves.
Serve with chapati or poori or jeera rice.
