Aloo Phujia

This is a family favourite! We add capsicum, carrot, and broccoli and serve with a dollop of plain yoghurt. Totally delicious

First, I cooked the onions and added the spices. Then I added the potatoes. After letting the potatoes cooked for awhile, then I added the canned tomatoes with garlic and onions. It came out perfect. I microwave some Uncle Ben’s basmati rice and added it to the potatoes mixture. Wasn’t too spicy for me.

Read through other reviews. I doubled the spices and added 1/2 tsp each of chili powder and ground coriander. Delicious!

Love these potatoes. Very good as leftovers too. Made it with Indian Tomato Chicken and they were delish together.

Absolutely delicious. The flavors all came together wonderfully. It didnt seem like it would but it did. I would half the cayenne and then add more if you want more kick. Otherwise, your stuck if you add the full amount. I went with half the amount and it was perfect hear. I also threw in some brocolli and gave it a little bit more dimension and color. Very tasty.

This is my first experience of Indian food, and also in making something vegetarian. I thought it was going to be pretty good, but since I had never used turmeric before, I wasn’t exactly sure what to fully expect in terms of flavor. I saw that all of the ingredients were things my family already has, and today I decided I’d make it for my lunch. It smelled absolutely delicious as it was cooking, and I wasn’t sure exactly how adding the tomatoes and covering to finish cooking for 10 minutes was going to work, because there was no added liquid like I’m used to when doing that, and wasn’t sure if I would need to stir at all. I had hoped that the tomatoes would provide enough juices that the potatoes wouldn’t stick to the bottom and burn. Happily enough, as soon as I added the tomatoes that was exactly what happened, and I realized that stirring probably wouldn’t be needed after covering. In terms of flavor, it’s a knock out. I so want to eat the other three servings, the potatoes are just so good. The tomatoes themselves didn’t take up too much of the seasoning, mainly just tasting like ordinary cooked tomatoes, but that’s not to say they are bad. It’s just something someone who dislikes cooked tomatoes would probably pick out. I personally like cooked tomato, I just know someone who doesn’t.

I cooked it but it was missing that extra kick or punch, so I added fresh cilantro and 1 serrano pepper cut into 5 pieces and I covered the pot for an extra 5 mins and served at with rice and a slice of fresh lime. This recipe took me back to my days in Pakistan!!! Thank you for sharing and keeping many memories alive… Rabhyia

Aloo Phujia by Christyj. Half inch cubed potatoes, no tomatoes, added peas & fresh cilantro; faked creme fraiche with sour cream & plain yogurt.

I made it just as written and it was excellent.

Will definitely make again!

I will definitely have to make this dish again, it was delicious and a good dish to make for any dinner or time.

This was the first time I made it. I cooked it slowly on low heat. Did not think it was too hot, but just right.

This is really good to make in a meal plan. All you really need is potatoes tomatoes and onions. I pretty much always have potatoes, spices, and onions on hand for other recipes. So making this just requires for me to buys some tomatoes and naan bread.

Used one pkg of grape tomatoes as a substitute, and added a carrot. Next time I will reduce the oil to just enough to coat the pan and add 2 more carrots.

Yummy. Will make again.

We used some canned tomatoes, but next time I’ll leave them out. We felt like they really didn’t add much. All that aside it was really good. The recipe isn’t lying when it says it’s super spicy! But if you can handle it, this recipe is really good.

My Sri Lankan mother-in-law advised using a secret ingredient at the end of this recipe. . . it’s ketchup lol. I cover the potatos and stir them. It comes out great

This was good, but I would have liked it more with double the spices. I served mine with basmati rice, plain yogurt, and roti, and I added half of a bag of frozen peas at the very end of cooking. Overall, a very good, simple, budget-friendly vegetarian meal.

Delicious! I made a mistake and didn’t realize I didn’t have tomatoes on hand until I was in the middle of making this and like 4 other dishes. I made a quick last minute substitute of tomato sauce and- while I’m sure there was some difference- it sufficed and this was one tasty dish!

Very good but i tweaked it to my own preference, if you aren’t a fan of greasy brown potatoes then try this: use only a little olive oil for the onion then as you’re cooking and stirring add a smidge of vegetable broth whenever the potatoes start to stick a little, it’ll cook away easily so it won’t be soupy but will have a fresh clean taste.

Instead of using fresh tomatoes I used canned diced tomatoes and it was delicious.
