This Aloo Sabzi recipe is all the way from India. It is a simple dish, often just served with rice or naan, but I used it as a side dish for grilled lamb. Roast chicken would also be delicious. But, be forwarded, the fresh curry leaves are a must. If you live in Toronto, try Ambal Trading on Parliament.
