A quick and delicious Aloo Methi Rasedar Subzi | Vegan Potato Curry that can be made under 30 minutes.
This week I am making 3 recipes that are going to fit under the theme of 'Prep to table in 30 minutes'. There are days when I hardly have time to make dinner and those are the days when recipes like this come in very useful instead of opting to take-out. A quick subzi / side dish like this Aloo Methi Rasedar Subzi | Vegan Potato Curry can be served with roti or rice.
Usually on a bust night, I am in no mood to chop tons of vegetables. This recipe literally has no chopping and a little preparation and planning helps make it in under 30 minutes. Also, this recipe for the Aloo Methi Rasedar Subzi | Vegan Potato Curry, is a no onion, no garlic recipe. This is a great one to make on the fasting days and no onion also means, no chopping.
I have pureed the tomatoes for the Aloo Methi Rasedar Subzi as it gives it a smooth gravy. if you prefer, just chopped tomatoes could be used as well. On the days when I am on a time restraint to make dinner, I spend about 5 minutes planning out on my cooking plans. On this particular night, I boiled my potatoes when making rice in my Instant pot. When the instant pot was done cooking, I started the coking process for the subbzi and right when my masala was cooked, my potatoes was ready to go in.
