The uniqueness of Rajasthani cuisine lies in the fact it is aligns itself with its extreme climatic conditions. Since a major part of Rajasthan is a desert region so many of its traditional recipes have minimal use of water. In summer there is a deliberate use of ingredients cooling by nature and vice versa in winter.

What is Aloo Mangodi ki Sabzi
Mangodi Aloo Sabzi is one of the most relished recipes from Rajasthan. It is made from sun-dried lentil nuggets cooked along with potato in a tomato-based gravy.
Mangodi/Bari are made by grinding soaked lentils along with a few spices that give these mangodi a distinctive flavor. These mangodi dumplings/ nuggets are then sun-dried for 2-3 days and sauteed or roasted for making the vegetable.
These Bari are very handy when you seem to be running out of vegetables or confused about what to make. Its tomato gravy is usually thin but the inclusion of potatoes gives thickness to the gravy.

I love mangodi or vadi sabji. The way I make it is a dry version with onions. Like your recipe with potatoes and a bit of gravy, making it more enjoyable with parathas or roti. Bookmarking this recipe.
You will love this too, try it. It is light on stomach.
I have homemade mangodi and can’t wait to try your recipe with aloo- Usually I make Mangodi kadhi, but this curry with potatoes sounds AND looks delish !
Aloo with mangodi gives an interplay of textures and a very good combination.
I just replenished my supply of mangodi from the Indian market, so I am ready to try this recipe this week!
Do try this version as well and let me know.
I like the idea of a gravy side with mangodi. I have made mangodi at home last year. will make another batch so we can make this curry too.

The versatility of our cuisine, eating according to the seasons and using the weather to help us there . Love this delish subzi, have made few times to pair with roti.
