Rasawala aloo or aloo tamatar is a tangy tomato based gravy. This tangy gravy is perfect for poori and other Indian flatbreads. Simple recipe with step by step pictures.
Ingredients
Making potato masala for puri is routine, but at times, I crave for tangy gravy. Mostly chana masala will be my choice if I plan prior. This rasawala aloo is a great quick fix for poori.
I make a no onion no garlic aloo bhaji with methi flavor as we temper with methi seeds. This one is totally different flavor from that one. Main ingredient in this recipe is tomato apart from Potato.
Naturally vegan and gluten free (provided using gluten free asafoetida) No onion No garlic side dish for Indian flatbreads.
