the aloo poori recipe is a hot favorite regular at my hubbys place for sunday morning breakfasts. can
you imagine having pooris with aloos for breakfast.
i cannot.. i just cannot eat heavy foods at the start of my day. but in my hubbys family everybody can
at my moms place the sunday breakfast would be light food like idli or dosa. on weekends it would be
idli and dosa and on week days, mom would make upma, potato poha, sandwiches, porridges all of
which are light.

we would have also aloo poori or poori bhaji in maharashtrian style. but it would be for lunch.

this aloo poori recipe is my mils treasured recipe. it is one of her best aloo sabzi recipes and
everybody in the family loves it.
the main and top most ingredient which subtly flavors the whole dish is ajwain/carom seeds. it brings
out the best in this potato curry. this potato curry is served hot hot with hot hot pooris, all puffed up and
straight out from the kadai along with some chopped onions and lemon wedges.

the combo of aloo poori with sooji halwa is very popular in north india. usually the aloo poori is
made for breakfast but you can have it any time of the day. mostly its made on weekends as it is a

heavy meal and you wont feel like working after having it.

NOTES
few tips for aloo poori recipe:
1. you can have the consistency of the aloo sabzi as per your preference. however avoid making it
watery or thin.
2. the spice powders, namely chili powder, garam masala and mango powder can be adjusted per your
liking.
3. in the absence of carom seeds, you can add cumin seeds. the curry or sabzi will not have the carom
seeds flavor, but still taste good.
4. if you don't have a pressure cooker than after adding the potatoes and water, cover the pan and let
the potatoes get cooked. remember to check in between.
