How to Make No Oil Aloo Curry
Step 1: Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the potatoes.
Cut them into medium-sized cubes.
Boil them in a pressure cooker for 2 whistles or until soft (but not mushy). Drain and keep aside.
Step 2: Sauté Without Oil
Heat a non-stick or ceramic pan.
Add cumin seeds and dry roast for a few seconds until aroma comes.
Add chopped onions, sauté them using 2–3 tbsp water instead of oil. Stir continuously till soft.
Add ginger-garlic paste and green chili, cook for 2 mins.
Step 3: Add Tomatoes & Spices
Add pureed tomatoes and cook on medium flame.
Add turmeric, red chili powder, coriander powder, and salt.
Cook until the tomatoes become thick and masala leaves the pan.
Step 4: Add Potatoes
Now add the boiled potato cubes.
Mix well so that masala coats the potatoes.
Add 1 cup water, cover and simmer for 5–6 minutes.
Step 5: Final Touch
Add garam masala, mix and turn off the flame.
Garnish with fresh coriander leaves.
🍽️ Serving Suggestions
Serve hot with roti, phulka, paratha, or even plain jeera rice.
