Notes

Few considerations while cooking and serving -
  • If you would like a thick gravy, mash one potato while cooking.
  • You can adjust water quantity as per your choice and thickness required.
  • If you would like to prepare dry Vrat ke Aloo then do not add water and instead double the quantity of clarified butter used.
  • Since Vegetable oil is not considered for cooking fasting food hence we have used Clarified butter to cook the dish. Alternatively you can use groundnut oil to cook the dish.
