Spicy potatoes with tamarind. Lip-smacking dry baby potatoes coated with spices. A no onion garlic and easy to make dry curry. You can serve it as a side dish or also as a teatime snack.
A completely gluten free and vegan dish.
I always make it with fluffy puri or fulko luchi.
Everyone loves potatoes in my home and this spicy tangy potato is a all time favorite. You can also enjoy it as a starter.
Not only delicious but potatoes are also a comfort food. Baby potatoes are very common in this season but if you don’t have baby potatoes, you can also use boiled and cubed large potatoes.
Potatoes are rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, which make them very healthy.
Studies have linked potatoes and their nutrients to a variety of impressive health benefits, including improved blood sugar control, reduced heart disease risk and higher immunity. They may also improve digestive health and combat signs of aging.
Potatoes are also quite filling, which means they may help you lose weight by curbing hunger pains and cravings.
All in all, potatoes are a great addition to your diet in moderation. They are also naturally gluten-free, which means they can be enjoyed by almost everyone.

Thanks a lot dear!
Spicy baby potatoes with tamarind looks lip-smacking coated with flavourful spices.
A lovely idea when you want to go no onion garlic plus easy to make dry curry.
Thank you so much Lata!
I love potatoes in every form and your dish looks so delicious and tempting. I always used lemon juice or amchoor powder in similar recipes but will definitely try with tamarind next time.
Thank you so much!
That is such a yummy aloo curry. Tamarind sure adds tang and flavor to this dish. My aloo loving family will devour this 🙂
Thank you so much Pavani!
Sujata we too love our potatoes in any form. Spicy potatoes with tamarind sauce sound really delicious. I’ll have to try this dish out soon, though we don’t get baby potatoes here, will use the normal ones. I’d love to enjoy this dish on its own.
Thanks a lot Mayuri. I also love it on its own as a snack. Just enjoy with a toothpick or spoon!
No-onion dishes are the want of the time, isn’t it? Unfortunate though… I am intrigued by this delicious looking potato dish, especially the dimension the tamarind paste would add… Sounds lipsmacking!
Thanks a lot Rafeeda. Glad you liked it!
This is a good side dish for me to try. It is ideal for no onion garlic days and potatoes are always welcome at home. Looks tasty.
Thank you so much Jayashree!
Sujata, I am yet to have my breakfast and your picture is making my tummy growling! I have never seen dry potatoes with imli, we Gujju make rasawala imli potatoes, and these look irresistible. Such a simple and quick recipe.
Thanks a lot Jagruti!
Sujata, I am big fan of potatoes and my little one is crazy about it. Anytime he sees the baby potato in market he will beg me to buy it and make dum aloo. I am going to try this spicy and tangy potato soon! Looks so tempting.
Thanks a lot Sandhya. Do try, hope your little one will love the taste!
I love tamarind in any dish and these spicy baby potatoes with tamarind look absolutely scrumptious.
