    ALOO SUVA [INDIAN FRIED DILL POTATOES]

    These potatoes are crispy with a bold dill (Suva) flavor. This is an easy, flavorful, one-pot dish where potatoes are pan-fried until crisp, and then tossed with fresh dill leaves and a handful of spices.

    Suva or dill leaves have a strong aroma and a slightly pungent flavor. These flavorful greens make an excellent dish by themselves or can be used in combination with other leafy vegetables or lentils.

    My mom used to add fresh dill leaves to Sai Bhaji (Sindhi Dal Palak), paratha, or sometimes she would add a handful of fresh dill to the pakora batter. I can't resist the dill pakora, so good!! Serve them with green chutney and a cup of chai. You have a perfect combo to devour on a cold evening!

    I love Suva (dill) and can eat it in any form. These aromatic dill leaves can be used in so many ways, from dal, soup, pulao, pakora, paratha, and the list can go on.

    Today, I am sharing a very simple and easy Suva (dill) leaves recipe. For this recipe, you only need a few ingredients. I have used potatoes, fresh dill leaves, fresh ginger-garlic, Thai green chili, and some dry Indian spices. This Suva aloo (dill potato) is a dry dish and can be enjoyed by itself or as a side dish. Leftovers are even great! The next day, I use it to make stuffed paratha or a sandwich. Delish!!

    Here are some more potato recipes that you must try – Methi Aloo [Fenugreek Potato Stir Fry], Broccoli Aloo [Indian Broccoli Potato Stir Fry], Aloo Masala For Dosa and Gobi Aloo [Indian Cauliflower Potato Stir Fry] 

    INGREDIENTS FOR ALOO SUVA [INDIAN FRIED DILL POTATOES]

    Potatoes - I have used 4 medium size russet potatoes for this recipe. You can use any variety of potatoes, red potatoes, or baby potatoes. Substitute sweet potatoes for mildly sweet, nutty, aromatic sweet potato dill stir fry.

    Suva (Dill) - A small bunch of fresh dill leaves, roughly a large handful of fresh leaves. You can add as much or as little to your taste. Please note that dill leaves have a very bold flavor, and if it is your first time cooking with dill, I would suggest using less quantity.

    Garlic - Few cloves of fresh garlic. I just love the garlic and greens combo. I think greens and garlic are a match made in heaven. You can also use green garlic in this recipe. You can find fresh or frozen green garlic at Indian or Asian grocery stores.

    Ginger - Fresh organic ginger, a little goes a long way. I prefer organic ginger in cooking, it is packed with flavor.

    Green chili - I use Thai green chili in cooking. We like spicy food, you can use some milder chili like Serano.

    Spices - Indian dishes would be incomplete without aromatic Indian spices. I used coriander powder, red chili powder, amchur, cumin seeds, and asafetida. You can use some lemon juice instead of amchur powder (dried mango powder).

    Canola oil - I prefer cooking with canola oil. You can use any neutral oil such as vegetable or even olive oil works great.

    HOW TO MAKE ALOO SUVA [INDIAN FRIED DILL POTATOES]

    PREP FOR ALOO SUVA

    Remove the dill leaves, pick leaves and tender stems, and discard the thick, woody stems. Transfer the leaves to a colander, and rinse them well. Set the colander aside and allow the water to drain

    Roughly chop the dill leaves and set them aside.

    Peel and wash the potatoes. Chop the potatoes into 1-inch pieces and place them in a bowl of water, to prevent any discoloration of potatoes.

    Note: For faster cooking, chop the potatoes into small cubes or wedges.

    INSTRUCTIONS

    Heat oil in a Kadai or pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and a pinch of asafetida.

    Once the seeds start to crackle, add garlic, and sauté for 30 seconds.

    Increase the heat to medium-high, add potatoes, turmeric, and salt to taste, and mix well. Sauté on high heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently.

    Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and cook the potatoes for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the edges are crisp and the potatoes are fork tender.

    Add the fresh dill leaves, green chili, ginger, and dry spices - coriander powder, red chili powder, amchur powder, and salt to taste and mix well. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes or until the dill leaves are wilted and cooked.

    Note: The dill leaves wilt and shrinks in size as they get cooked. Add less salt initially. Once the dish is completely cooked, then add more salt as needed.

    This aloo Suva recipe is a dry dish. Serve this aloo Suva sabzi with roti or paratha or as a side dish with rice, dal, or sambar.

      Love dill, love potatoes and now in love with this Indian recipe! We didn't have mango powder so not sure if that changes the recipe much but it was delicious nevertheless.

        Hi Irena, Dried mango powder is used to add some tangy flavor to the dish. You can add some lemon juice, works fine. Thanks for trying my recipe!
