ALOO UDAIGIRI

These days wherever I go and eat something different i tend to ask for recipes.. i don't know if people find it irritating :) but I can't resist the question." how did u make it?"
This particular recipe given by my chef friend Preetika has been quite a hit. Since aaloo ki sabji is considered such a simple dish. This variation makes it very presentable.. It goes really well with poori .. I don't know if the name has any significance but i call it Aloo Udaigiri coz Preetika called it so...:) I will not give any quantity particulars since the recipe is all about ingredients’ and not the quantity.

You need

Tempering
2 Whole Red chilies
