For 4 servings
Heat oil in a heavy-bottomed pan or kadai over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the cumin seeds and allow them to splutter for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the thinly sliced onions and sauté for 7-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they become soft and light golden brown.
Stir in the ginger paste, garlic paste, and slit green chilies. Cook for another minute until the raw aroma disappears.
Add the chopped tomatoes along with a pinch of salt. Cook for 5-6 minutes, mashing the tomatoes with your spoon, until they turn soft, pulpy, and oil begins to separate from the masala.
Lower the heat and add the spice powders: turmeric powder, red chili powder, and coriander powder. Mix well and cook for 1 minute, stirring continuously to prevent the spices from burning.
Add the cubed potatoes and the remaining salt. Gently toss everything together for 2 minutes to coat the potatoes evenly with the masala.
Pour in 1/2 cup of hot water, stir well, and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cover the pan with a lid, reduce the heat to low, and cook for 15-18 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender. Stir once or twice in between to prevent sticking.

Yes, you can. For a tomato-free version, skip the tomatoes and add 2-3 tablespoons of whisked yogurt (curd) after the onions are browned and the heat is turned low. Cook until oil separates, then proceed with the recipe. You can also add more amchur (dry mango powder) for tanginess.
This can happen if the potato cubes are too large or if there isn't enough steam. Ensure your potatoes are cut into uniform 1-inch cubes. If they are still hard after the recommended cooking time, add a splash of hot water, cover, and continue to cook on low heat for another 5-7 minutes.
This dish pairs wonderfully with Indian flatbreads like roti, chapati, paratha, or puri. It also goes well as a side dish with dal and steamed rice.
Leftover Aloo Pyaz Sabzi can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Reheat thoroughly in a pan or microwave before serving.
