    I made this tonight and I was delicious! I followed the recipe to the T – the quantities are spot on, and your instructions are very easy to follow. We were amazed by how flavoursome it was, especially without onions or garlic! This is going to become a regular dinner, and I can’t wait to cook it for friends. Thank you for sharing ❤️

    Hi Manjula, I made the Aloo Ṭamaṭar sabji today and its really come out well. However, I had to cook the potatoes for 30 mins in the pan to make it soft although I had boiled it initially. Thanks to your wonderful recipe. I will try more of your recipes shortly 🙂

  3. Thanks Majula, just whipped this up and it was great! Thanks for your recipe, clear instructions, and really foolproof video! All the best from Manchester, UK!

    I made this yesterday and it was amazing! My husband says he could eat it every week and we had leftovers for lunch which were even tastier!

    I just made this recipe and converted it for an electric pressure cooker. Besides cutting back a tad on the water, I also had to cube the potatoes, because of course, they went in raw, not cooked. Worked like a charm, and very tasty.

    Can you suggest a second dish to complement this one that I could serve along side it and the rice?
