Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 600 grams Baby potatoes
- 1 large, finely chopped Onion
- 2 medium, pureed Tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons Ginger garlic paste
- 200 ml Coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Cilantro
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 2 teaspoons Coriander powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Garam masala
- 1 teaspoon (or to taste) Salt
- 200 ml Water
- 3 tablespoons Oil
Instructions
1. Wash and boil the baby potatoes in salted water for about 10-12 minutes or until they are partially cooked. Drain and let them cool slightly.
2. Once cooled, peel the potatoes and set aside.
3. In a non-stick pan, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium heat and lightly fry the potatoes until they develop a golden crust. Remove and set aside.
4. In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil. Add the cumin seeds and allow them to splutter.
5. Add the finely chopped onion to the pan and sauté until it turns golden brown.
6. Stir in the ginger garlic paste and cook for another 2 minutes or until the raw aroma fades.
7. Add the tomato puree, coriander powder, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Mix well and cook on medium heat until the oil starts to separate from the masala.
8. Reduce the heat to low and add the coconut milk, stirring continuously to combine.
9. Gradually add the water to adjust the consistency of the gravy.
10. Add the fried potatoes to the gravy, cover the pan with a tight-fitting lid, and let it simmer on low heat for about 15 minutes, allowing the potatoes to absorb the flavors.
11. Stir in the garam masala and adjust seasoning if necessary.
12. Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve hot with rice or roti.
