Made with fresh onions & crushed tomatoes, this is the most versatile sauce for northern Indian cuisine for vegetables, chicken & seafood.
POTATO CURRY (DUM ALOO) & VARIATIONS : Boil 1 lb med potatoes. Peel (unless using new potatoes) & cut into 1" cubes. Lightly stir fry the potatoes with 2 TBS oil (& some hot peppers, if you like hot curries) for 3 min. Then add 1 can JYOTI Classic Masala Curry Sauce, simmer on low heat for 10 min or microwave. Raw potato cubes, when cooked with the same sauce (30 min), will produce curry with a different look, with potatoes retaining their shape. Try both! For variation, combine a wide variety of vegetables (green peas, lima beans, greens, carrots, etc.) with the potatoes for various vegetable curries. Adjust cooking time for optimum flavor.
