Vrat ke aloo ki sabzi recipe

Vrat wale aloo ki sabzi recipe – This is potato side dish made in pressure cooker for vrat or fasting. Peanuts are added in the recipe. It gets boiled along with potatoes in the cooker. So peanuts become soft yet slightly crunchy. This adds nice crunch to the dish.

This vrat wale aloo can be eaten on any other fast as well like ekadasi, maha shivratri, janmashtami or gauri vrat.

Navratri is just started by today. It is 9 nights and 10 days festival. In this festival, people worship the ‘Matarani’. And many devotees observe the fast on these 9 days. I also keep the fast and on the first day I have made this aloo ki sabzi and rajgira paratha as a meal. It was filling meal.

Potato is the most commonly used in any dish during the fasting whether it is vada or thalipeeth or paratha or puri. Potato is added in almost all the recipes.
