Dahi aloo is one curry that I have grown up eating. This one is very popular in my home and it is the go-to recipe of my mom on days she can’t figure out what to make. This recipe is very easy to prepare. You can easily find all the ingredients in your kitchen itself all the time. So you don’t really have to go out and gather the ingredients before making this. It goes really well with almost anything and everything. Serve it with roti, puri or rice, it compliments each one of them amazingly. Here is a step by step recipe of the same.
