Instructions
To prepare the Aloo Gajar Ki Sabzi, start by gathering all the ingredients needed for the dish. First, place the potatoes in a pressure cooker, adding water as necessary, and cook until you hear two whistles. Once cooked, peel the potatoes and chop them into bite-sized pieces. For the carrots, steam them until tender, either in the pressure cooker or a steamer, then set them aside.
Next, heat the oil in a kadai (wok) over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle for about 10 seconds. Then, add the grated ginger and sauté for another 10 seconds until fragrant.
After that, incorporate the boiled potatoes and steamed carrots into the kadai, along with the remaining spices: turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and salt to taste. Mix everything well, ensuring that the vegetables are evenly coated with the spices. Cover the kadai with a lid and allow the vegetables to cook for an additional 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once the vegetables are tender and well-combined, squeeze in the lemon juice for a refreshing tang and garnish with fresh coriander leaves.
Serve the No Onion No Garlic Aloo Gajar Ki Sabzi warm alongside dal fry, boondi raita, and soft phulkas (Indian bread) for a satisfying meal that is both comforting and full of flavor. Enjoy your culinary journey with this simple yet delicious recipe, perfect for any occasion!
