Description

This comforting Daum Aloo features tender boiled potatoes simmered in a rich, tangy tamarind sauce. The dish is elevated by a blend of aromatic spices including cardamom, fennel, cinnamon, and turmeric, creating a complex flavor profile that is both earthy and sweet. Thinly sliced onions and fresh garlic provide a savory base, while dried red pepper flakes add a subtle warmth. Perfect as a side dish for rice or naan, this vegan-friendly recipe captures the essence of home-style Indian cooking.

Directions

  1. Dissolve tamarind paste in 1 cup of water and let stand for 30 minutes to soften.
  2. Strain the tamarind mixture to remove pulp and seeds, reserving the liquid.
  3. Boil potatoes in salted water until just tender, then drain and cool completely.
  4. Peel the cooled potatoes and pierce each one in 4 places with a wooden skewer.
  5. Heat corn oil in a heavy large skillet over medium heat.
  6. Add thinly sliced onions and cook until crisp and lightly browned, stirring frequently, about 10 minutes.
  7. Remove the browned onions from the skillet and set aside.
  8. Add potatoes to the skillet and brown well on all sides.
  9. Remove the browned potatoes from the skillet and set aside.
  10. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of oil from the skillet.
  11. Add minced ginger and garlic to the skillet and stir for 1 minute.
  12. Stir in dried red pepper flakes and ground turmeric.
  13. Blend in 2 tablespoons of water to deglaze the pan.
  14. Mix in the reserved browned onions.
  15. Return potatoes to the skillet and add the strained tamarind liquid and remaining 1 1/2 cups of water.
  16. Stir in ground cardamom, ground fennel, cinnamon, and freshly ground pepper.
  17. Cover and simmer until the sauce has thickened slightly, about 15 minutes.
  18. Season with salt to taste before serving.
