Aloo Rasedar
Who really likes to cook some Comfort Food in jiffy? Something like Aloo Rasedar with Roti’s? Again no more than 30 minutes !

Aloo Rasedar

More like cooking them in less than half an hour? Week nights are all about cooking something quick and yumm too. Also our comfort food. Oh yes we do like to get experimentive with our food but not on buzy week nights.
Our week days are typically action packed and by evening I literally have 20% energy level. Sometimes It will be that moment when I would ask the family what would they like to eat? If I really don’t get a quick reply, I would scanning the refrigerator for 30 seconds to decide the menu.

Do you guys also look into the refrigerator to decide your menu for the day? Or do you plan your week in advance?

I kind of find it amusing when I think back about deciding the menu standing in front of the refirgerator when the cold air actually sends those positive creative vibes 🙂

A couple of weeks ago when I was challenged to come up with a recipe with Tesco Cypriot New Potatoes, I knew that it had to be a comfort meal. I chose to make my family Aloo Rasedar. Aloo means Potatoes & Rasedar means Thin Gravy. Aloo Rasedar is a yumm side dish from the state of Uttar Pradesh in India where its served with Poori ( Puffed Flatbread) or Kachori’s. This stewy, soupy kind of gravy is so just delicious that we enjoy it with Roti’s at home. If you fancy, you can enjoy them like a chunky soup and have it with some toasted bread!

The Cypriot New Potatoes  are available to purchase at Tesco stores nationwide from now until the end of March both loose and in 750gms pack. These Earthy Creamy Potatoes are grown in the rich soils of Southern Cyprus and we get to enjoy them in this cold weather in UK ! I loved the fact these are so versatile. They can be Boiled, Steamed or even Roasted.
Apart from cooking for the challenge , I served my guests with authentic Indian Starter Achari Potatoes with skin {Potatoes in Pickling Spices}.

I love making Dhaba Style Aloo Matar, Aloo Paratha , Aloo Gobi {Dry Potato Cauliflower curry }, Aloo Tikki   Hasselback Potatoes, Rosti with Potatoes…

{Aloo Rasedar} – Cooked Potatoes, crumbled roughly are added to a semi spicy thin tomato stew and cooked until well blended. This is a no onion no garlic recipe and that means we need very few ingredients to make this delicious side dish.
