Bhandare Wale Aloo

Bhandare Wale Aloo is a traditional North Indian recipe usually made during ‘poojas’ or ‘hawans’ at the temple or even at home. Here is an authentic recipe to make this delicious curry.

Bhandare Wale Aloo is served after the puja in an open meal system called bhandara.

A lot of people sit down in rows and are served this free meal comprising of poori, bhandare wale aloo, a day sabzi and a sweet at the end.

This aalu ki sabzi or curry is thin in texture, is flavorful with a slightly sour taste and is best enjoyed with kachori or poori.

Though this curry is had as ‘prasad’ there’s nothing stopping us from enjoying it as an occasional treat at home.

I’ve barely known anyone who doesn’t enjoy having potatoes. Make this dish as a special treat for your friends and family this weekend along with Baingan Bharta, Palak Puri and Makhane ki kheer.

Without much ado, here’s how to make Bhandare Wale Aloo Ki Sabzi Recipe.
