How to Make Aloo Ka Raita Potatoes In Yogurt

  4. Add the diced potatoes, green chilies, and mint leaves to the yogurt mixture.
  5. Gently stir to combine all ingredients.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
