Method
Peel the potatoes, cut the potato in half then in quarters & cut the quarters into halves, you will get bite sized pieces, keep them submerged in water.
Cut the onions, capsicum & tomatoes (save the core & trimmings) into petals & roughly slice the remaining onions for the gravy.
In a deep pan, add the mustard oil & heat it over high flame until it begins to smoke, then switch off the flame & let the oil cool down slightly.
Once it is only moderately hot, strain the water from the potatoes & carefully add them into the oil, fry the potatoes over high flame while stirring at regular intervals until they get fully cooked & turn golden brown, then strain them out & transfer into a bowl & set aside.
Strain the remaining oil as well, this same oil will be used for the further cooking processes.
Add some of the oil back into the pan, heat it up & add all the whole spices, let them crackle for a few seconds & then add in the sliced onions, stir well & cook them over medium high flame until they turn golden brown.
Further, add garlic, ginger, green chilli, coriander stems, tomato trimmings, salt, stir well & then add a splash of hot water, cover & cook over medium to low flame until the tomatoes turn mushy.
Add all the powdered spices into the curd & mix well to make a smooth mixture, add this mixture into the pan once the tomatoes turn mushy, stir well & cook over high flame until the oil separates, keep adding splashes of hot water if the gravy becomes too dry to cook.
Once the oil separates, switch off the flame & let the mixture cool down completely, then add it into a mixer grinder jar along with some water & grind it into a smooth fine gravy.
In a pan or kadhai, add the remaining mustard oil & heat it up.
Add cumin seeds, coriander seeds, ginger, green chillies & the onion, tomato, capsicum petals, toss over high flame for a minute.
Then add the fried potatoes, saute for a couple of seconds over high flame & then add the prepared gravy along with black salt & chaat masala, stir well & cook for 2-3 minutes.
Taste & adjust salt if required & lastly add kasuri methi powder, garam masala, fresh coriander & stir well.
You can adjust the consistency of the dish as per your preference, if you want the gravy to be thick then do not add any hot water otherwise add some hot water.
Dhaba style Aloo Do Pyaza is ready, serve it with some tandoori roti & salad.
