    This North Indian Style Aloo Tomato Curry (vegan potato curry) is an easy fasting recipe. This is a simple vegan, no onion no garlic, Indian curry that takes less than 15 minutes.

    Aloo Tomato Curry (Farali Vrat Recipe)

    You can also pressure cook them for 2 whistles if you don't have boiled potatoes. But I like to boil the potatoes first and then adding them to the gravy. This dish has no onion and no garlic and hence one fasting food. This is also a popular everyday curry in North India.

    I love this no onion no garlic aloo tomato curry or spicy potato tomato curry even on regular days. But when you will cook on a regular day (other than fasting days), the best part is that extra punch of flavor from asafoetida or hing.

    If you eat curry leaves on fasting, add to the curry. In case you don't eat any of the ingredients then you can skip that. Also, use rock salt only for fasting food preparation as you can't take regular salt.

    This curry goes well with kuttu ki puri, singhade ki puri, sama rice pulao. I also make Dahi aloo to accompany my other farali puri or rice.

    If you love potatoes, then also read quick potato recipes:
