Man, today was a bit of a head-scratcher. I’ve been diving deep into Indian food lately—love the flavors, you know? So, I thought, why not combine my love for crosswords with my new culinary adventures? I decided to tackle a crossword puzzle that had a clue about potatoes in Indian cuisine.
I started by brainstorming all the Indian dishes I could think of that had potatoes. My mind immediately went to “aloo gobi.” I remembered the last time I had it at a local Indian restaurant. I also thought about “aloo palak”.

- First step: I grabbed my phone and searched for “potatoes in Indian cuisine crossword.”
- Second step: I browsed through a bunch of crossword solver sites, hoping to find some answers.
- Third step: I saw a lot of mentions of “aloo” as the answer, which I figured made sense since it means potato.
I filled in “ALOO” in the crossword grid, and it fit perfectly! It was a four-letter word, and it matched up with other clues I had already solved.
It got me thinking about how cool it is that potatoes are such a big deal in Indian cooking. I mean, they’re in so many dishes! I even learned a new word today. I jotted down some of the dishes I found, like “aloo gobi” and “aloo palak,” and I’m definitely going to try making them soon. Maybe I’ll even make some “aloo tikki”, which I found out is like an Indian potato pancake!
This whole crossword thing turned into a mini culinary exploration. Who knew a simple puzzle could lead to so much? I’m excited to keep learning about Indian food and maybe even conquer more food-related crosswords in the future!
