Good food is nice. Delicious exotic food is even better. But when you’ve overfed yourself with a variety of scrumptiously rich delicacies, the mind begins to move to a more subtle and simple option – like this quick and easy Aloo Tamatar Sabzi recipe. The past few days saw us gorging on the best of Indian festive delicacies, and what with Diwali just around the corner, this trend is sure to continue for the next few days as well. Yesterday, as I hurried into the kitchen to prep for dinner, my palate began to repulse at the slightest thought of anything even remotely extravagant. What I craved was a simple, yet hearty meal of Dal-Chawal-Sabzi – and Aloo Tamatar Sabzi definitely topped my list. In most North Indian households, the availability of the three basics – onions, tomatoes and potatoes, along with the most basic of spices cannot be missed. Truly, just with these three, one can can create a pretty hearty meal to feed the whole family. And the choices are never limited. By altering and changing the flavourings and spices, a variety of dishes can be concocted from these basics. So it’s no surprise that when I look for simplicity, I undoubtedly turn to the basics.
