How to make Aloo Makai Subzi (Potato Corn Stir-fry)
- Peel the 2 medium potatoes and cut them into 1/2-inch cubes. Finely chop the 1 medium onion and 2 medium tomatoes. Slit the 1 small green chili lengthwise and mince the 2 tbsp fresh cilantro.
- Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet or kadai over medium heat. Once hot, add 1/2 tsp cumin seeds and let them splutter for about 15-20 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the chopped 1 medium onion to the skillet and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it turns translucent and lightly golden brown.
- Stir in 1 tsp ginger-garlic paste and the slit 1 small green chili. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the raw smell of ginger and garlic disappears.
- Add the cubed potatoes to the skillet, mix well, and cook covered for 8-10 minutes on medium-low heat, stirring every few minutes, until the potatoes are about 70-80% cooked and tender-crisp.
- Now, add the chopped 2 medium tomatoes, 1/2 tsp turmeric powder, 1/2 tsp red chili powder, 1 tsp coriander powder, and salt to taste. Mix everything thoroughly and cook for 3-4 minutes, pressing the tomatoes gently, until they soften and the oil starts to separate from the masala.
- Add 1 cup sweet corn kernels to the pan, along with 1/4 cup of water to prevent burning and help the spices meld. Cover and cook for another 5-7 minutes, or until the potatoes are completely tender and the corn is cooked through.
- Stir in 1/2 tsp garam masala and mix well. Cook for 1 minute more. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
- Garnish with 2 tbsp minced fresh cilantro and serve hot with roti, paratha, or as a side with rice and dal.
