On most days, by the time we all get home in the evenings, we are starving and craving for a warm home-cooked meal. And more often than not, I am too tired to whip up anything extra than a quick one-pot meal. Since Hubby Dear has been out of town since the past two weeks, I’ve found myself spending much less time in my kitchen. Little Dude and I take it easy when it’s just the two of us, and we can be just as happy opening up a pack of instant noodles or having a grilled cheese sandwich for dinner. But last night, as we were huddled indoors amidst a wild snow storm, I started craving a good home-cooked Indian meal. Something wholesome, fulfilling and delicious – like this Aloo Masala recipe. And not to mention, quick! Oh yes, it just had to be quick. We were tired and hungry, and really just wanted to wrap ourselves in our blankets in front of the blazing fireplace and catch up on our current k-drama episodes. Yes, in case I haven’t mentioned it – we’re kdrama addicts. Thank you pandemic! As I set my favourite Dal to cook in my trustly Instant Pot alongside some steaming rice, I thought of making a really quick side dish. No guesses as to what it would be made of. I walked into my pantry and found them – a nice big bowl of baby potatoes, perfect for this Aloo Masala recipe! Potatoes are easily one of the staples of a classic Indian meal. It is also one of the most versatile and beautiful vegetables I know and love. I let a batch of them boil just until tender and the stage was then set for a wonderfully delicious and fulfilling dinner!
