Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoon oil + as needed

  • 1/2 teaspoon jeera
  • 1/2 teaspoon ginger garlic paste
  • 1 no onion finely chopped
  • 10 nos cashews
  • salt to taste

For the marinade:

Instructions

  • To begin with first pressure cook baby potatoes along with salt and water for 3 whistles in medium flame.
  • Let pressure release by itself.
  • Prick to check if its cooked. It should be soft.
  • Peel off the skin. If your potatoes are big then slice it. I had very small potatoes so added as such.
  • To a mixing bowl add curd along with salt and spice powders.
  • Mix it well.
  • Add cooked potatoes.
  • Mix it well. Set aside to rest for 30 mins.
  • Heat oil in a pan - add the aloo pieces alone.
  • Toss and cook. Roast until golden brown.Once golden brown remove and set aside.
  • Now in the same pan add jeera let it crackle then add onion together with salt.
  • Saute until golden.
  • Now add the remaining marinade curd mixture.
  • Mix well and let it boil for few mins until oil seperates. You can adjust spice and salt level at this stage. If you prefer add more red chilli powder.
  • Soak cashews in hot water for 10 mins.
  • Make a paste and add it.
  • This gives thickness and richness to the gravy. Boil for 2 mins.
  • Now add roasted potatoes.
  • Mix it and cook for few more mins until oil starts to seperate.
  • Now burn few charcoal pieces directly in flame. Be at a safe distance while doing this as it might splutter. Switch off.
  • Remove from fire using a tong place it in a small bowl.
  • Place this bowl inside the boiling gravy.Add ghee to it.
  • It starts to smoke.
  • Immediately cover with lid.Let this cook covered for 1-2 mins.
  • Open garnish with coriander leaves.
  • Finally give a quick mix and switch off.
  • Serve Tandoori Aloo Gravy hot with jeera rice!

Notes

Even without smoked flavour this gravy tastes good but the restaurant taste will be missing.
You can use baby potatoes as I have used or normal potatoes. Pressure cook for 3-4 whistles, cut into cubes and use it.
If you don't have tandoori masala powder you can use garam masala powder along with a sprinkle of kasoori methi.
