Ingredients for a perfect Aaloo Bhaji (serves about 4)
- 500 g potatoes, peeled and cut into roughly 1–2 cm cubes
- 2 medium onions, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil or ghee
- 2–3 tbsp Shan Aaloo Bhaji Mix (adjust to taste)
- 200 ml water
- 1–2 tomatoes, chopped (optional)
- Fresh coriander, chopped, to garnish
- A squeeze of lemon juice (optional)
Method: step by step to your Indian feast
- Step 1: Heat the oil or ghee in a frying pan or saucepan over a medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and fry until soft and golden, about 5–7 minutes.
- Step 2: Add the potato cubes and fry them with the onion for a few minutes until they start to colour. If using tomatoes, add them now and cook for 2–3 minutes until softened.
- Step 3: Sprinkle over your Shan Aaloo Bhaji Mix and stir well so every piece of potato is coated in the aromatic spices. Let the spices toast for about a minute to release all their wonderful flavours.
- Step 4: Pour in the water, stir and bring to the boil. Then lower the heat, cover and simmer for about 15–20 minutes, until the potatoes are completely tender and the sauce has thickened. Stir now and then to stop it catching.
- Step 5: Taste and add more spice mix or salt if needed. Take the pan off the heat, squeeze over a little lemon juice if you like and garnish generously with fresh chopped coriander.
- Step 6: Serve your homemade Aaloo Bhaji piping hot with warm chapatis, naan or as part of a larger Indian meal (thali). Enjoy!
