Creamy Indian Potatoes: Dahi Ke Aloo

Whatever you call these potatoes or whichever way you serve them they still remain classic Indian comfort food and an easy quick fix dish.
By Prerna Singh

Dahi is hindi for yogurt and Aloo means potatoes. When potatoes are cooked in tangy and creamy yogurt with some few simple spices they become Dahi Ke Aloo. I call it potato and yogurt soup. My mom serves it with hot and crisp fresh out of the griddle rotis, I serve them with some fresh baguettes. Whatever you call them or whichever way you serve them they still remain classic comfort food and an easy quick fix dish.
