Aloo Tamatar sabji | Potato Tomato Gravy | आलू टमाटर सब्जी (Easy cooker method)

Aloo Tamatar Sabji  is very simple to put together and makes for a perfect meal . Pairs well with rotis,puris and even simple veg pulao or Peas Pulao. 

One can hardly go wrong with this recipe.  Potatoes and tomatoes are the most versatile and staple ingredients used in Indian cuisine and they are very easy to handle.  For me at home,I always ensure that there is enough stock of potatoes, tomatoes, green chillies and corriander at home . With just these 4 main ingredients you can create magic in your kitchen.

This particular recipe is made in cooker in one shot with very basic and minimal spices .

Hardly takes 20 mins and you will have a delicious curry to serve . If you are expecting guests at a very short notice this one definitely come to your rescue.

Guests or no guests, I make this delicious curry very frequently at home . At home,it is mostly paired with either rotis or puris .  

Aloo tamatar sabji is made sans onion and garlic hence making it a perfect choice to make and serve as prasad on special days or Vrat days and not to forget ,this recipe is Vegan friendly. You can even pack this for lunch box for office /school .
