Description
Dopiazeh Aloo is a comforting Persian Potato Curry that combines creamy Yukon gold potatoes and savory spices.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium Yukon gold potatoes
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 large Yellow onions
- 1 medium Green bell pepper
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon Ginger
- 1 medium Red chili
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 2 medium Medium tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon Tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1/4 cup Cilantro
Instructions
- In a large saucepan, add the potatoes and cover with water. Salt the water generously. Bring to a boil over high heat and cover, cooking for about 10 minutes until just tender. Drain and set aside.
- In the same pan, add the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once shimmering, add the sliced onions and sauté until they soften and start to caramelize, about 8 minutes. Then, add the bell pepper and cook for an additional 3 minutes until slightly softened.
- Introduce the garlic, ginger, and red chili to the pan. Stir for about 1 minute until fragrant, allowing the spices to bloom and release their delicious aromas.
- Add turmeric, cumin, and coriander. Stir the mixture well to ensure the spices coat the onion and pepper evenly, creating a fragrant base for your curry.
- Toss in the chopped tomatoes and gently stir until they start to break down and soften, which should take about 3 minutes.
- Add the tomato paste (if using) for depth and stir it into the mixture. Next, pour in 1 cup of water to create a light sauce that will bring everything together.
- Carefully add the drained potatoes into the mix, reducing heat to medium-low. If using, sprinkle in the fresh lime juice and season with salt and pepper to your taste. Stir gently to combine, then cover and cook for approximately 15 minutes to allow flavors to meld, stirring occasionally.
- Turn off the heat and fold in 3/4 of the chopped cilantro. Spoon the Dopiazeh Aloo into a serving dish and sprinkle with remaining cilantro if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy the warmth of this delightful curry!
