Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and boil them in salted water until they are cooked but still firm. This should take about 15 minutes.
Drain the cooked potatoes, let them cool slightly, and peel them. Pierce each potato with a fork to allow the flavors to seep in later.
Blend the tomatoes into a smooth puree and set aside.
Finely chop the onion and set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large non-stick pan over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté until they turn golden brown.
Add the ginger-garlic paste and continue to sauté for another 2 minutes until the raw smell disappears.
Pour the tomato puree into the pan and stir. Cook the mixture until the oil starts to separate, which should take about 5 minutes.
Lower the heat and add the low-fat yogurt, stirring continuously to prevent it from curdling.
Mix in the coriander powder, cumin powder, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Cook for another 2 minutes.
Add the boiled and peeled potatoes to the pan, ensuring they are well-coated with the spice mixture.
Cover the pan with a tight-fitting lid and let the potatoes cook on low heat for about 15-20 minutes, allowing them to absorb the flavors of the masala.
Once cooked, sprinkle garam masala on top and gently stir to mix.
Garnish with fresh coriander leaves.
Serve hot with steamed rice or whole wheat roti.
