Dubki Wale Aloo | Mathura Ke Dubki Wale Aloo

A dish which is very popular and one of my favorite dish straight from Mathura, U.P (Uttar Pradesh) “Dubki Wale Aloo”, this curry is specially served with khasta kachori in Mathura and in North India. Imagine a beautiful rainy morning and having Khasta kachori with this dubki wale aloo and adrak wali chai. Sounds interesting…yeah? Well my weekend was kind of like this. 😀 I just replaced the kachori with masala poori. 


This is a very simple curry for those days when you don’t want to prepare an elaborate meal or you’re running short of time to prepare a wholesome meal. Try this curry as a side dish to rice, roti/ paratha. Almost everything was added on the go and the curry was ready in less than 20-25mins. If you are making this curry I would suggest you to serve with poori/ bedmi poori/ masala poori or with khasta dal kachori for breakfast with a garma-garam chai ka cup 🙂 and enjoy the delicacy of Mathura.
