Dahi Ke Aloo (Yogurt Potatoes)

Dahi Ke Aloo (Yogurt Potatoes)

Dahi ke Aloo is a comforting and flavorful potato curry that is loved in many parts of India. In some eastern regions, it is also known by a different local name, but in my home, we simply call it Dahi ke Aloo. It is made with boiled potatoes and whisked yogurt, which gives the curry a smooth, tangy, and delicious taste. This dish is simple, satisfying, and goes very well with roti or other Indian breads.

Chef's Tips

  • 💡Always whisk the curd well before adding it.
  • 💡Stir continuously after adding curd to prevent it from splitting.
  • 💡Hand-broken potatoes give a more homemade texture than perfectly cut pieces.
  • 💡This curry tastes even better after simmering for a few extra minutes.
