Ingredients
- 4 medium potatoes
- 1 large onion
- 4 pieces garlic cloves
- 1 inch fresh ginger
- 2 medium tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1.5 cups water
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
Instructions
Peel and dice the potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Set aside.
Finely chop the onion, garlic, and ginger. Dice the tomatoes into small pieces.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or pot over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the chopped onion to the pan and sauté for 5-7 minutes until it turns golden brown.
Stir in the garlic and ginger. Cook for another minute until fragrant.
Add the diced tomatoes, cayenne pepper, turmeric, coriander powder, and salt. Mix well and cook for 5 minutes until the tomatoes break down into a paste.
Stir in the potato cubes, ensuring they are well coated with the spice mixture.
Pour in the water and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender.
Sprinkle the garam masala over the curry and mix well. Adjust salt to taste if needed.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and serve hot with rice or flatbread.
