Aloo or potato is the most commonly used vegetable in Indian cuisine. Its ease of making, versatility and mild flavours allow it to be transformed into many delicious recipes that can serve as a snack, appetiser, main dish or even dessert.
Whether it's with gravy or without gravy, aloo ki sabzi tastes amazing no matter how you eat it. Leftover aloo sabzi can be transformed into many delicious snacks, especially for the evening teatime.
Though the recipes are easy to make with dry gravy, you can also make it with wet gravy by reducing its water content and cooking the potatoes on low heat until they become semi-dry. If you fear washing away spices with water, add more spices while you stir the potatoes. Check out these amazing snack ideas you can try to repurpose the leftover aloo sabzi.
