Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Baby potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 1 large Onion
- 4 pieces Garlic cloves
- 1 inch Ginger
- 2 medium Tomatoes
- 3 tablespoons Yogurt
- 0.5 teaspoons Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1.5 teaspoons Coriander powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Garam masala
- 1 cup Water
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
Instructions
Wash the baby potatoes, boil them until tender, peel off their skin, and set them aside.
Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. Lightly fry the boiled potatoes until golden brown on all sides. Remove and set aside.
In the same pan, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter.
Finely chop the onion, garlic, and ginger. Add them to the pan and sauté until the onions turn translucent and slightly golden.
Puree the tomatoes in a blender and add the puree to the pan. Cook until the oil separates from the mixture.
Add turmeric powder, red chili powder, and coriander powder to the tomato-onion mixture. Stir well to combine.
Lower the heat and slowly add the yogurt, stirring constantly to ensure it does not curdle.
Add the fried potatoes to the pan. Mix well so the potatoes are coated with the spice mixture.
Pour in 1 cup of water and add salt. Cover the pan with a lid and let the potatoes simmer for 10-12 minutes, allowing them to absorb the flavors.
Add garam masala and give the curry a final stir. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro.
Serve hot with steamed rice, roti, or naan.
