Yes, it can be a healthy dish. It's made from whole food ingredients like potatoes and tomatoes. Potatoes provide complex carbs and potassium. To make it healthier, use minimal oil and pair it with whole wheat roti instead of fried puris.
While tomatoes are key to the 'rasedar' (gravy) style, you can make a variation using 1/4 cup of plain yogurt (curd) whisked with the powdered spices. Add this mixture after the ginger and cook on low heat until oil separates.
The classic and most popular pairing is with hot, fluffy puris. It also goes exceptionally well with roti, chapati, paratha, or even plain steamed rice.
Leftover Aloo Rasedar Sabzi can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat it on the stovetop or in the microwave. The gravy may thicken upon cooling; add a splash of water when reheating if needed.
The gravy thickens from the starch released by the hand-crumbled potatoes. If it's too thin, you can gently mash a few potato chunks against the side of the pan with your spoon and simmer for a few more minutes. This will release more starch and thicken the gravy.
