Dahi waale aloo

Dahi wale aloo or potatoes cooked in yogurt gravy is a  rich gravy from Rajasthan. It is one of the simplest potato curries that is flavourful yet aromatic, the ingredients are quite simple, and the yogurt gives a rich base and that required sourness to the curry. This is a no onion, no garlic recipe, yet the flavours are quite promising, so grab your rice bowl, cook this for dinner and enjoy your meal.

Yellow Fish Curry

  This fish curry is my mother's recipe, and it is quite different from the normal mustard fish or "shorshe maach". The use of Bori (dried lentil dumplings) is traditional and it gives a wonderful texture to the curry. The flavour of mustard enhances with time as it cooks along with the fish. We have used Rohu, you can also use Hilsa or Katla for this recipe. It is recommended that the fish cuts from a bigger fish is used, the flavours would be more enhancing, my mother cooks this recipe quite often and every time she cooks, the flavour, the texture remains amazing. Thank you so much mom for sharing this recipe. Share with your friends and family, leave a like if you enjoyed the video, have a wonderful day !
