Ingredients

• 1 large Onion
• 2 medium-sized Tomatoes
• 4 pieces Garlic cloves
• 1 inch piece Ginger
• 2 tablespoons Cooking oil
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Garam masala
• 1 teaspoon (adjust to taste) Salt
• 2 cups Water
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) Cilantro (fresh coriander leaves)

Directions

Step 1

Wash and peel the potatoes. Dice them into bite-sized chunks and set aside.

Step 2

Finely chop the onion, tomatoes, garlic, and ginger.

Step 3

Heat the cooking oil in a medium-sized pot or skillet over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the cumin seeds to the hot oil and let them sizzle for a few seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Stir in the chopped onions and sauté until they turn golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 6

Add the minced garlic and ginger, and cook for another 1-2 minutes until aromatic.

Step 7

Mix in the chopped tomatoes and cook until they soften and form a thick paste, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes.

Step 8

Lower the heat and add the coriander powder, turmeric powder, and red chili powder. Stir well to combine the spices with the tomato mixture.

Step 9

Add the diced potatoes to the pot and mix well to coat them in the spice mixture.

Step 10

Pour in the water, add salt, and bring the curry to a boil.

Step 11

Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the curry simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender and cooked through. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 12

Once the potatoes are soft, stir in the garam masala and cook for another 2 minutes.

Step 13

Turn off the heat and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro.

Step 14

Serve hot with rice, naan, or roti for a delicious meal.
