I have loved Kathiyavadi cuisine ever since my childhood. This curry is my absolute favorite. Lasaniya Bateta aka curried garlicky potatoes needs just basic ingredients. This curry is super easy and absolutely delicious packed with flavors and so it is loved by all.
Lasaniya Bateta is beautifully flavored with garlic and its gets its gorgeous color from kashmiri red chilies. The Curried Garlicky Potatoes are delicious and super easy to make. It works for an easy weekly lunch/dinner with a side of lentils curry and Indian Flat bread.
Curried Garlicky Potatoes
Lush red tomatoes, freshly peeled garlic and the whole dried chilies soaked in warm water makes a scrumptious curry sauce to make this beautiful curried garlicky potatoes. We fry the onions patiently until they are transparent and they release a soft sweet aroma. Add the lush sauce to the fried onions and let it simmer on a slow flame till the oil separates. Add the boiled baby potatoes and garnish with some cilantro. There, this gorgeous curry is ready to be served.
I make this curry for friends and family and it is always a hit. If you are a lover of spicy food, garlic flavors and Indian food, this curry is definitely for you to try. This delicious curry is served with Indian Flatbread and rice. We also make lentils curry or dal and plain rice to make this as a wholesome meal. A condiment of Jaggery and clarified butter/ghee is added to the meal, to balance out the spice in this curry.
