Quick and easy Aloo Ki Sabji – One dish serves all

Aloo Ki Sabji is perhaps the most cooked and most common recipes of all. In fact this dish is a life-saver when there’s not much ingredients left in the kitchen inventory (and of course the time is too lazy to go out for a grocery shopping). Moreover Aloo Ki Sabji can be served with almost any main dishes – roti/chappati, paratha, puri, kachori, dal puri, rice with dal and even bread. As you can see this dish is a multi-purpose side dish with minimum ingredient and fairly quick and easy to prepare. You can even vary the level of spices and chili to make it quite tasty (of course at the expense of being “healthy”). You will just need potato and onion besides few spices. That’s all. And with pressure cooker, the total time of preparation/cooking is well within 20mins.
