Aloo Rassedar-Tariwale Aloo-Aloo Tamatar Sabzi-Quick and Simple Potato Curry

November 10, 2017 by Smita Singh 3 Comments

Aloo-Rasdar-Tariwale-Curry

“Grandparents are a delightful blend of laughter, caring deeds, wonderful stories and love!”

Last week, we decided to break away from our frenetic daily schedule for a family gathering in Mumbai, and the occasion was- Pranay’s  maternal grandparents 62nd wedding anniversary!

Now dear readers, any other time, I would have said 62 years is such a long period. However, a married life spanning 62 years warrants a special mention- a momentous journey of over six decades. A journey adorned with numerous occasions and moments- some happy and some not so pleasant ones. A path named life where you tread together with your partner. You stumble across many obstacles, at times you may trip over but having a companion who may lend you a hand, help you gather yourself and then urge you to go on is what makes this journey worthwhile.

As grandchildren we have been witness to some part of their journey and this celebration was our way of expressing our gratitude towards them- an opportunity to thank our grandparents.

After a foolproof planning that involved brainstorming sessions between us cousins and in-laws for nearly 5 months, we landed up in Mumbai at our Nana- Nani’s house 3 days before the function. The entire family had decided to stay together in that house and enjoy every moment of the gathering. The house was transformed in a performance arts theatre where we soul sisters were polishing our dance moves in the center stage, our 2 lovable Mamis were practicing a Bollywood song dedicated to their beloved mother-in-law (our Nani), in some other room of house the 3 siblings – my mom-in-law, her sister (our Mausi) and their brother (our Mamaji) had their emotional moments rehearsing their song. Amid all these cacophony, our grandparents were looking at us in amusement with their eyes filled with sheer happiness and love. Nothing could make a person happier than witnessing the joy and happiness of their family.

These 3 days proved to be very enlivening and food was part of our excitement throughout. We gulped down countless cups of tea, sipped innumerable glasses of cola, gorged on snacks like wada pav and samosa accompanied with ceaseless chatter with all family members which is quite rare in this digital world.

In one such memorable moment, while all ladies were occupied in applying Mehndi on our both hands, our Vinod Mamaji assumed charge of kitchen and served a fantastic Tea for us in his own Banarasi andaz. I would always remember the way he blended ginger and cardamom, stirring the tea in his own merry and unique way.

We are blessed to be surrounded with wonderful people who help us in forming such unforgettable food memories. The morning after function, while we were lazily packing our luggage to head towards our home, our Kusum Mami – from Banaras, had cooked a nice brunch for us. What a pot full of flavors emerged from her culinary repertoire! It was Rassedar Aloo ki sabzi with some hot Ajwaini Pooris. The emanating aroma compelled us to leave the packing aside and hop onto the chairs placed in front of dining table, for a culinary treat.

Aloo Rassedar is a humble potato curry with the perfect balance of flavors – spicy, tangy, and aromatised with some fresh coriander. The tempering of mustard seeds, cumin seeds and fennel seeds had elevated this dish to a higher flavor quotient.

Being a Maharashtrian, I always have seen 3 companions of poori – Shrikhand, aloo dry Bhaji & Matki gravy. Now this dish is a new entrant on that list. Mamiji added to my knowledge that in Banaras, Azamgad or Delhi, Aloo Rassedar and Pooris are the high selling breakfast items and almost a dozen street vendors line up in early morning to sell it.
