Dahi wale aloo is a very simple, yet delicious potato delicacy in yogurt curry. I remember when I was a kid, we used to eat dahi wale aloo with plain paratha in dinner meals. I have inherited this dish from my grandmother, mother and my aunts....I do not put many spices in this potato delicacy as it tastes so good with the flavor of green chilies and sour yogurt....…
