ગુજરાતી માં વાંચો

Rasawala Bateta nu Shaak literary means potato curry with gravy. This curry is very well known in Northern and Western India especially in the state of Gujarat where it is served in good occasions / weddings. Also this curry is often prepared in any Gujarati house hold. This sabji is often served in Gujarati thalis in restaurants.

This is a quick rasawala aloo recipe. There is hardly any preparation and it takes less than 15 minutes to prepare. Also as this is a pressure cooker recipe the overall cooking time is cut in half.

The simple and easy rasawala bateta recipe can be served hot and goes really well with phulka, chappati and puri. I also make this curry when I prepare Gujarati puran puri. The spice & tangy taste of rasawala bateta sabji goes well with sweetness of puran poli.

Let us check step by step recipe of easy rasawala bateta shaak.

    A great recipe – smells and tastes just like my mum’s cooking! I don’t own a pressure cooker but it worked perfectly in a saucepan. I also use your Gujarati khichdi recipe on a weekly basis!

      Hi Sashiya, yes that’s the recipe.. I have tempered the spices first, added potato & dry spices and pressure cooked. That’s it.

    This recipe totally hit the spot!!! The only question I have is how do you retain the red color? Would it be easier to use tomato sauce instead of chopped tomatoes since I cook this in a sauce pan rather than the pressure cooker? Pressure cookers and I do not mix! I can’t to much eat red chili powder, so I usually use serrano peppers as an alternative would that be okay?
