Batata nu Shaak Recipe with step by step pictures. Gujarati Aloo tamatar curry made with onions, spices and tomatoes.
Batata nu Shaak Recipe
I made nice puffy poori along with this spicy aloo tamatar and a lovely salad. The meal was a complete hit. Enjoyed each piece so much. The poori was so puffy and it stayed puffy for a long time. Will talk about that later in another post. The curry was spicy yet flavourful which was perfect with poori. To make the meal even more special I made a lovely crunchy salad.
This meal is the basic thali which can be had for breakfast or dinner. But I love it for breakfast. The potato curry is so simple to make but taste so heavenly. You don't need any onions for this too. This can be served with anything. Hope you like it and let me know what you think.
Other variations in this thali can be
