Now this is one awesome dish Vaishali..can’t imagine how the different ingredients must have blended so well..trust you to come up with such an amazing thali in such a short span of time..loved everything on the plate!
Definitely not a dish where the oil will be missed especially with the richness of the ingredients! This dish actually reminds me of a non-vegetarian Iranian dish which is cooked in pomegranate juice and ground walnuts… it was so good, that I am sure that this aloo dish will be equally amazing as well…
I think when cooking with zero oil non-stick pan help. Also using rich ingredients with natural oils like cashew and khus khus helps in the overall flavour. I will give this one a try.
Omg, can believe that this potato curry is oil free. Seriously with all the rich ingredients went in it, am sure this fingerlicking curry will definitely please anyone’s tastebuds.
Yummy really mouth watering while typing my comment. You gave me a though for making zero oil cooking. definitely in my list now. Check you mail
That baby aloo curry looks so rich and creamy. I can’t believe it has no oil in it — truly amazing. I guess the natural oils from khus khus, cashews and milk make up for the lack of oil. Awesome recipe.
A must try dish , this kandhari aloo seems to be super delicious with all those rich ingredients.
