Mathura ke Dubki Wale Aloo

Mathura ke Dubki wale Aloo is a traditional spicy potato recipe from the streets of Mathura, a small town in Uttar Pradesh. Here is how to make dubki wale aloo ki sabji.

Mathura ke Dubki Wale Aloo is a lip-smacking accompaniment that is popular as a street food and also for a homely meal. After spending almost a major time of my life in Uttar Pradesh, I have got the chance to visit mostly all of the major cities in the state.

Mathura famous as the birth place of Lord Krishna was among the ones which I visited when I was very young. Although the memories of the city have faded but what stayed is the lingering taste of this spicy potato curry served along with khasta kachori on the many stalls that lined the city’s roads.

The thin, almost watery curry with chunks of potatoes totally soaked in the flavors of the spices, is definitely a dish to remember. My mom makes this Mathura ke Dubki Wale Aloo very often and served it along with poories, kachories and Aamras as well during summer.

An addition of methi seeds gives this curry a very distinctive taste and I think this is what differentiates Mathura ke Dubki Wale Aloo from the regular potato curries that we get else where.

Methi seeds are soaked for a few hours and ground to make a coarse paste. This paste is then added to the masala along with other spices. The curry is simmered for a long time, so that the potatoes soak in all the flavours and nicely gel with the curry.

Bring in some change in the daily menu by preparing this authentic Indian curry at home, here’s the recipe of Mathura ke Dubki Wale Aloo for relishing a promising meal, scribble it down:
