Equipment
Method
- Heat mustard oil in a kadhai until slightly smoky for authentic flavour.
- Add panch phoran and let it crackle. Add hing and ginger.
- Mix in turmeric and red chili powder. Stir for a few seconds on low heat.
- Add boiled potato cubes and toss gently so they are coated with spices.
- Sprinkle achari masala and salt. Add a splash of water and mix well.
- Cover and cook for 5–6 minutes on low heat until potatoes absorb flavours.
- Finish with lemon juice and coriander. Serve hot.
Notes
For a lighter version, use minimal oil or replace half the potatoes with steamed sweet potatoes. Achari Aloo pairs well with rotis, parathas, or curd rice.
