Til Aloo Curry is a rustic and comforting potato dish where the gravy is thickened with a rich, toasted sesame seed paste. I roast white sesame seeds until they are nutty and grind them with a touch of ginger to create a silky, ivory-colored sauce. The potatoes are slow-cooked in this aromatic base, absorbing the earthy sweetness of the sesame. It’s a very common household meal in regional India, providing a sophisticated flavor from humble pantry ingredients. Serve it warm with pooris or simple parathas.
