A rustic, no-onion, no-garlic potato curry from Uttar Pradesh. Boiled potatoes are simmered in a thin, spicy, and tangy tomato-based gravy, making it a classic pairing for hot pooris or kachoris.
Prepare the potatoes. Take the boiled and peeled potatoes and gently crumble them with your hands into coarse, uneven chunks. Avoid mashing them into a paste; the texture is key.
Heat mustard oil in a kadai or a heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat until it's slightly smoking. This removes the pungent smell of the oil. Reduce the heat slightly.
Add the jeera (cumin seeds) and let them crackle for about 30 seconds. Add the hing (asafoetida), followed by the slit green chillies and grated ginger. Sauté for another 30 seconds until the raw smell of ginger disappears.
Pour in the tomato puree. Add the turmeric powder, Kashmiri red chilli powder, coriander powder, and salt. Mix well and cook the masala on medium-low heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens and you see oil separating at the edges.
Add the hand-crumbled potatoes to the masala. Gently toss for 1-2 minutes to coat the potatoes well with the spice mixture.
Pour in 4 cups of water and stir to combine. Bring the curry to a vigorous boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover partially, and let it simmer for 10-12 minutes. The gravy will thicken slightly from the potato starch but should remain thin and soupy ('rasa').
Finish the curry by stirring in the amchur (dry mango powder) and garam masala. Let it simmer for one final minute for the flavors to meld.

Authentically, this curry is thin. However, if you prefer a thicker gravy, you can simmer it for a longer duration or mash a few potato chunks against the side of the pan to release more starch.
While it pairs best with poori or kachori, Dubki Wale Aloo also tastes great with roti, paratha, or even plain steamed rice.
Store any leftover curry in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. The gravy may thicken upon cooling; you can add a splash of hot water while reheating to adjust the consistency.
