Aloo (Potato) Masala for Dosa
May 7th, 2008 filed under Gluten Free, Subji (Vegetables), Vegan
Aloo masala is a nice compliment for any kind of dosa. The Aloo Masala can be rolled in the dosa or served as a side dish.
Serves 4.
Ingredients:
- 2 large potatoes
- 1 tablespoon oil
- Pinch of asafetida (Hing)
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds (Jeera)
- 1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds (Rai)
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric (Haldi)
- 1 finely chopped green chili (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
Method
- Boiled the potatoes until they are soft and let cool.
- Peel and chop the potatoes in small pieces.
- Heat the oil in a frying pan on medium high. Test the heat by adding one cumin seed to the oil. If it cracks right away, the oil is ready.
- Add the cumin seeds, mustard seeds and asafetida. As the seeds crack, add turmeric, potatoes, green chili, and salt.
- Stir-fry for a few minutes.
- Add lemon juice and cilantro.
- The potatoes should be slightly moist and not very dry.
- Serve hot.
Variations
Try adding 2 tablespoons of shredded carrots and 1/8 cup of green peas to potato mixture.

Hello Manjula, I am new as a vegetarian and when watching you cook on your videos, I could almost smell the great aroma coming from your cooking. I had never eaten food from your culture before but it now one of my most favorites and I appreciate you taking the time to share such wonderful recipes with myself and others. May you have much Peace and Blessings, Dee
Thank you for your recipes. You are very kind. May you be happy, healthy, and free from suffering.
Dear Manjulaji,
Namaskar! Your allo sabji for dosa is good one. I added like South Indians 1 teaspoon of Chana dal and 1tsp. of Dhuli Urad Dal when jeera starts cracking and fry for few seconds till it gives nutty smell. South Indians also use onions but I don’t want to put that as it is not pure vegetarian for many of us.
Thank you for your simple and delicious recipes.
