Hing Wale Aloo is a delicious potato curry flavoured with asafoetida. Boiled potatoes are simmered in tomato asafoetida gravy and relished with poori. It is a delectable recipe from North India and popular for Breakfast/Brunch on weekends.
My husband loves potatoes especially Aloo Poori. One of our weekend brunches is usually Aloo Poori of some variety. Hing Wale Aloo is my ‘to go to’ recipe as not only is it super easy and quick to make but equally delicious!
Hing also known as ‘asafoetida’ (pronounced as Ass-a-feh-te-dah) in English is a spice often used in Indian food. It has a strong and pungent smell. It is often used in Indian food not only for its nutritional value but also because lots of Indians do not eat onion and/or garlic and adding this spice adds a depth and savouriness to the food.
