Peel the potatoes and cut them into small cubes. Rinse them in water to remove excess starch, then drain and set aside.
Finely chop the onion and tomatoes. Slit the green chili lengthwise.
Heat 1 teaspoon of oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and mustard seeds and let them splutter.
Add the chopped onion and sauté until golden brown.
Add ginger paste and the slit green chili. Sauté for a minute until fragrant.
Add chopped tomatoes, turmeric powder, coriander powder, red chili powder, and salt. Cook until the tomatoes soften and the oil starts to separate from the masala.
Add the cubed potatoes and mix well to coat them with the spices and masala.
Pour in 1 cup of water and stir. Cover the pan with a lid and let it simmer on low heat for about 15 minutes or until the potatoes are tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once the potatoes are cooked, add garam masala and mix well. Adjust the salt if needed.
Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve hot with chapati, naan, or rice.
