Jodhpuri Aloo recipe with step by step pictures. Just 15 mins is all it takes to make this delicious, easy and quick baby potato recipe to be served as a side dish with rice. This also happens to be a no onion no garlic recipe.

It turned out so yumm that I could not believe that it took me only few minutes to rustle up such a delicious side dish. If your kids happen to be hard core fans of baby potatoes like mine, then you have got to try out this recipe for them.

I should not be surprised as typically Rajasthani Cuisine is rustic in nature and tends to wow us with its simplicity and the clever use of spices that never fails to tickle our palates.

This month my partner for Blog Hop Wednesdays is Vaishali and needless to say that I not only love that lady for her zest for life but her blog too as her posts are so informative and full of knowledge that she shares from her various travels.

The original jodhpuri aloo recipe called for amchur powder (Dried mango powder) to bring in the tangy flavor. But since I did not want the dish to be dry and wanted it to be a bit saucy and the spices to coat well on the baby potatoes, I used 1 tbsp of tamarind extract.

It worked out perfectly. The tamarind juice not only added the much needed tanginess but also prevented the whole dish from darkening a bit which would have a happened if I had added amchur powder.

Though the recipe is very simple, you need to be careful while roasting the spices, taking care not to burn them and cooking over low flame. If you burn the spices, the taste of the entire dish will be ruined.
