Want the most authentic, flavour-packed Heeng Aloo Sabzi you have ever tasted? The secret is two things: SND Heeng Aloo Masala and a traditional iron kadhai (lohe ki kadhai). Together, they create a depth of flavour that no modern pan can replicate. Here is the complete recipe! 🥔

Why Cook in an Iron Kadhai?

Cooking in an iron kadhai gives your sabzi an earthy, rustic taste that is unmatched. The iron reacts with the spices and adds a natural depth to the heeng aroma. Every dadi-nani in India used an iron kadhai — and there is a reason for that! It also adds a small amount of iron to your food, making the dish more nutritious. 🍳✨

Ingredients (For 4 Servings)

• Boiled potatoes – 2 (medium sized)
• Ghee – 1 teaspoon
• SND Heeng Aloo Masala – 1 teaspoon
• Ginger – a small piece, grated
• Water – 250 ml
• Salt – as per taste
• Ground khatai (amchur / dry mango powder) – as per taste
• Red chilli powder – as per taste

Step-by-Step Method

1. Place your iron kadhai on medium flame and let it heat up for a minute.
2. Add 1 teaspoon of ghee and allow it to melt and coat the base of the kadhai.
3. Add SND Heeng Aloo Masala and grated ginger. Sauté on low flame for about 30 seconds — you will smell the magic instantly!
4. Break the boiled potatoes into rough chunks with your hands and add them to the kadhai. Mix gently so every piece is coated with the masala.
5. Pour in 250 ml of water and stir. Let the sabzi come to a full boil on medium flame.
6. Once boiling, add salt, ground khatai, and red chilli as per your taste preferences.
7. Reduce heat and let the sabzi simmer for 3–4 minutes so the spices blend beautifully.
8. Serve hot with poori, paratha or puri. Enjoy! 😋
