Notes
You can use raw potatoes if boiled potatoes are not available. Raw Potatoes takes more time in cooking than boiled potatoes. You can have the consistency of the aloo sabzi as per your preference, however avoid making it watery or thin. The spice powders, such as chili powder, garam masala and mango powder can be adjusted as per your liking. In the absence of carom seeds, you can add cumin seeds, it will still taste good.
