Recipe for Potato Dill Sabzi

Potatoes are a versatile vegetable. They are easy to store and are always available in my home. I love combining them with other vegetables and make varieties of dishes.

Because I use them so often, I recently researched potatoes available in Germany and wrote an article about them. So, if you too like experimenting with this tuber, you might want to read my article: Different Types of Potatoes in German Supermarkets- Explained.

I have already shared the recipes for Aalu Gobi ( Potatoes and cauliflower sabzi), Aalu Fry ( Pan fried crispy potatoes), Aalu Simlamirch Sabzi ( potatoes combined with capsicum), Aalu Methi ( Potatoes with fenugreek leaves), Aalu Matar Nutri Sabzi ( Potatoes with peas and soya chunks), Aalu Beans Sabzi ( Potatoes with french beans), Aalu Matar ( Potatoes and peas) and Potato Asparagus Sabzi ( Potatoes with Asparagus). Do check them out!

Today’s recipe is Aalu Dill Sabzi. Unlike other recipes, this recipe requires no spice other than turmeric. Dill has its unique sweet and spicy flavour and a strong aroma. I wanted to retain that and not have it overridden by adding many spices. The taste of dill leaves shines, and the sabzi tastes delicious.

So, let us start with the recipe:

Ingredients needed to make Aalu Dill Sabzi:

• 5-6 Medium-Sized Potatoes; washed, peeled and cut into cubes
• 2 Handfuls of Dill Leaves (stem separated)
• 1 Big Onion; chopped
• 2 tbsp Oil
• 1 tsp Cumin Seeds
• Salt; to taste
• ⅓ tsp Turmeric Powder

Method to make Aalu Dill Sabzi:

• Heat oil in a pan. On medium heat, add cumin seeds.
  
  
  
• When the cumin seeds crackle, add onions. Fry till they are translucent.
  
  
  
• Add potatoes. Also, add salt and turmeric powder. Cover and cook till the potatoes are 50% done.
  
  
  
• Add finely chopped stems of dill leaves. Cover and cook till the potatoes are 90% done.
  
  
  
• Add chopped dill leaves. Cover and cook on medium heat for another 5 minutes till the potatoes are fully cooked.
  
  
  
• Remove and serve with roti/chapati or as a side dish with dal and rice.
