Ingredients

• 4 medium Potatoes
• 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon Mustard seeds
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 1 large, chopped Onion
• 1 inch, grated Ginger
• 4 cloves, minced Garlic
• 1 chopped Green chili
• 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 2 teaspoons Coriander powder
• 1 teaspoon Garam masala
• 2 medium, pureed Tomato
• 1 teaspoon (adjust to taste) Salt
• 1 cup Water
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh coriander leaves

Directions

Step 1

Peel the potatoes and cut them into cubes. Set aside in water to prevent oxidation.

Step 2

Heat vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat.

Step 3

Add mustard seeds to the hot oil and allow them to crackle. Then add cumin seeds and fry for a few seconds until aromatic.

Step 4

Add chopped onion to the pan and sauté until they are golden brown.

Step 5

Add grated ginger, minced garlic, and chopped green chili to the onions and sauté until the raw smell dissipates.

Step 6

Stir in turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and garam masala. Cook for a minute while stirring to avoid burning.

Step 7

Pour in the pureed tomatoes and cook the mixture until the oil starts to separate from the masala, about 5 minutes.

Step 8

Add the potato cubes to the masala mixture and stir well to coat them evenly.

Step 9

Season with salt and pour in water. Stir and cover the pan with a lid.

Step 10

Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender and cooked through, stirring occasionally.

Step 11

Once the potatoes are cooked, garnish with fresh coriander leaves.

Step 12

Serve hot with rice, naan, or any bread of your choice.
