🧄❌ Why No Onion, No Garlic?

In many Indian households, especially during festivals, poojas, or fasting days, dishes are prepared without onion and garlic to maintain purity of food and mind. This Satvik style is also followed by Jains, Vaishnavites, and spiritual seekers across the globe.

📝 Ingredients

  • 4 medium-sized potatoes (boiled and cubed)

  • 3 ripe tomatoes (pureed)

  • 2 green chilies (slit)

  • 1 tsp grated ginger

  • 1 tsp cumin seeds

  • ½ tsp turmeric powder

  • 1 tsp red chili powder (adjust to taste)

Heat ghee in a kadhai or pan. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter. Add ginger and green chilies, sauté lightly for a few seconds.

🍅 Step 2: Add Tomato Puree

Pour in the tomato puree and cook on medium flame for 5-7 minutes until the raw smell disappears and the oil starts to separate.

🧂 Step 3: Spice It Up

Add turmeric, red chili, coriander powder, and salt. Stir well and cook the masala for 1-2 minutes.
