Growing up we used to go to the iskcon temple a lot and there they used to serve an amazing sabji which didn't have any onion or garlic.
My mom used to say she makes the same sabji by the name of "Batatyacha Rassa" but obviously being in a Maharashtrian household, she never added Garam masala but added Goda masala in it. Also she added jaggery or gul in it which was missing in a North Indian recipe.
Later we found out that same rassa bhaji is made in any langar and they call it "Bhandarewale aalu".
So since India has rich food history I fusioned all these recipes in our very own Maharashtrian Batata rassa bhaji without onion and garlic. I don't claim it's an authentic recipe of any state, but it's my version of it.
