Aloo Tamatar Ki Sabzi is a simple, comforting and easy to make dish which is regularly cooked in North Indian households. It is made by cooking potatoes in a simple tomato curry.

It is not only flavorful and delicious, but it is also a quick fix solution when short of time or when short of vegetables in the kitchen.

Aloo tamatar ki sabzi can truly claim to be one of the most popular curries of North India and the best part of it is that it goes very well with a variety of Indian breads.

As with any spicy potato dish, the best fit to this delicious sabji is of course plain pooris, bedmi pooris, dal poori, masala poori etc. Aloo tamatar ki sabzi is enjoyed equally well with paratha or roti/chapatis. This sabzi can also be served with plain steamed rice.

Another good thing about this dish is that you can make the curry of the desired consistency as per your preference. This curry is a common part of food served in Indian marriages and ceremonies. This recipe is also common during Navratras as it has no onion and garlic.
