Ingredients

• 500 grams Baby potatoes
• 4 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 1 large Onion (finely chopped)
• 1.5 tablespoons Ginger-garlic paste
• 3 medium Tomatoes (pureed)
• 3 tablespoons Plain yogurt (whisked)
• 0.5 teaspoons Turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Garam masala
• 1 teaspoons Kasuri methi (dried fenugreek leaves)
• 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped)
• 1 to taste Salt
• 1 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

Wash and boil the baby potatoes in salted water until slightly tender but not fully cooked (about 10 minutes). Drain and let them cool, then peel the skins.

Step 2

Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a deep pan or kadhai. Fry the boiled potatoes until golden brown on all sides. Remove them and set aside.

Step 3

In the same pan, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Heat on medium flame and add cumin seeds. Let them sizzle for a few seconds.

Step 4

Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the ginger-garlic paste and cook for 1-2 minutes until the raw aroma disappears.

Step 6

Add the pureed tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until the oil begins to separate from the mixture (about 7-10 minutes).

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low and add the whisked yogurt, stirring continuously to prevent curdling.

Step 8

Add turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and salt. Mix well, then add the fried potatoes. Stir so that the potatoes are coated in the spice mix.

Step 9

Pour in 1 cup of water and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cover the pan and cook on low heat for 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the potatoes to absorb the spices.

Step 10

Stir in garam masala and crushed kasuri methi. Cook for another 2 minutes.

Step 11

Finish with heavy cream and garnish with chopped cilantro.

Step 12

Serve hot with naan, roti, or steamed rice.
