How To Make Rajasthani Kadhoo Aloo , A No Onion No Garlic Recipe?
RajasthaniKadhoo Aloo is a simple yogurt based gravy that uses pumpkin and potatoes. It is a mild yetflavorsome combination to all kinds of flatbreads, the brownie point being that it is a no onion no garlic recipe. Ifi am making rotis for lunch, then rest assuredi will be at sixes and sevens in the kitchen.The question of what to makealongside the roti always remains a bully of a situation. Makingpaneer based side dishes and mixed vegetable sides on a regular are just so not my cup of tea. I detest the soaking and grinding involved in making amakhani or butter masala. Its ok once in a while but when you are almost on a whirl wind and you want to eat something more that beans, carrots, peas andpaneer, theni think one must start ferreting out for new dishes. On one such crazy rummaging for a new dish on the table,i discovered this rajasthani kadhooaloo. Believe me the flavours are simply wonderful and if you are a person who hates that big fat red pumpkin then you will not after you eat this.Serve thisrajasthanikadhooaloo with rotis orphulkas or plainparathas or even stuffedparathas of your choice.
