    Garam Masala Potatoes and Onions. Masaledar Aloo Pyaaz. Vegan Glutenfree Recipe

    Published: Oct 29, 2013 · Modified: Jan 21, 2017 by Richa 28 Comments

    Garam Masala Potatoes
     

    These are the easiest and deliciousest ever potatoes. Some good freshly ground garam masala, salt, ginger, garlic and onions. Yum!

    To get the best out of Garam masala spice blend, get some made with whole spices from an Indian store with whole cumin, corinader, bay leaves, cardamom, cinnamon, nutmeg, black pepper and more. You can also make your own, but store the larger quantity in whole spices. Lightly roast a small portion and then grind it and keep to use within a month or two. You can add the Garam masala to any indian vegetable stir fry, or to a gravy, curry or lentil dal soups, bean stews, or sprinkle some on baked potatoes or roasted cauliflower, add to bean burger patties, or use to marinate tempeh or seitan. The possibilities are endless.

    You know what else you could do with these potatoes.. Make a Grilled Sandwich! 
    Masala Potatoes, Daiya pepper jack, grilled up in Cauliflower Bread.  nuff said.



    Steps:
    Heat the oil, add garlic, ginger and chili. Cook for 2-3 minutes. . 



    Add red onions and cook for another 5-7 minutes until the onions are translucent. Add the garam masala and mix well. 



    Add the potatoes and salt and mix well. 



    Cook covered on low-medium heat until potatoes are tender. Serve hot.

      This was delicious. I even made the garam masala from the supplied link… the first homemade garam masala recipe that I’ve liked. I follow you on Facebook, and although I’ve seen tons of recipes that look yummy, this is the first one I’ve tried. 2 thumbs up, from DH and me. I will definitely be trying more of your recipes!

      Hi Richa!
      I am looking for a recipe that has sweet potatoes as the main ingredient . I thought I could maybe try this recipe and use the sweet potato instead. They take more time to cook than the other kind of potatoes, don’t they?

        you can make this with sweet potatoes. They will take similar amount of time to cook. You can check at 20 minutes, they should be getting quite tender at that point.

      Oh my goodness, I could definitely go for some of this comforting carby goodness! I love how simple this is yet it’s bursting with garam masala flavor. Congrats on the magazine feature! That is so awesome! I forgot that this magazine was coming out. I’ll have to check it out!

      This is my ideal Indian potato dish, love the chunky potatoes & red onions with not too many ingredients involved, but just a flavorful spice blend. Love the idea in a sandwich – it reminds me of an Indian potato salad sandwich 😉 And congratulations with the feature on Vegan Food Magazine – looks fantastic!

      This sounds fantastic! For some reason I never think to use haram masala for anything besides curry, I really need to play around with it more.

      Your recipe has come to the rescue again! I over-purchased potatoes and that just weren’t calling to me; nothing sounded really good and I feared they would go bad. What a perfectly spiced save you’ve shared here!

        I made this used what I had. White onion, no Serrano. Potatoes a little dry so I added some veg.broth. Really good. Made the sandwich. Used spelt bread and cheddar cheese. Grilled it to toast the bread and melt the cheese. Than added the Garàm Masada potatoes. Very filling and good. A while ago a lady from India made us a sandwich similar to this. The filling was pureed and put on a small white bread hamburger bun with a slice of American cheese. It was delicious. She called it Indian street food.

          Great! Yes you ccan adjust the moisture depending on how you plan to use the potatoes. I usually serve with a side of dal.

          I think it must have been dabeli or masala pav (street food names that use mashed spiced potatoes between buns with different kinds of chutneys and sauces). You can mash these with a bit of water or broth until smooth and shape into patties. Serve with chutneys like mint cilantro or tamarind chutney and some kind of chile garlic saue like sriracha.
