Changezi Aloo

Recipe by Chef Ranveer Brar

A rich, aromatic North Indian potato curry inspired by wedding banquet flavors. Thick‑cut potatoes are lightly fried, then simmered in a silky tomato‑curd gravy spiced with a special birista‑cashew paste, whole aromatics and a hint of sugar. The dish is glossy, mildly spicy and perfect with naan or rice.

Critical Success Points

  • Marinating the potatoes ensures the spices penetrate the flesh
  • Partial frying the potatoes prevents them from becoming soggy later
  • Grinding the birista‑cashew paste with minimal water keeps the gravy from becoming watery
  • Saute the paste until most moisture evaporates; this is key to a rich, non‑watery gravy
  • Keep the gravy slightly thinner initially because fried potatoes will thicken it as they absorb liquid

Safety Warnings

  • Hot oil can splatter – use a splatter guard or keep a lid nearby
  • Handle the blender carefully; hot onion‑cashew paste can cause steam burns
