Notes

  • Storing - Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 5 days. To reheat simply microwave or heat on the stovetop. Aloo Rasedar curry can also be made a day ahead and refrigerated. Potatoes absorb a lot of liquids over time making the curry thick and dry. So when reheating add some warm water to bring the curry to desired consistency. Add salt to taste.
