Peel and dice the potatoes into medium-sized cubes. Keep them soaked in water to prevent oxidation.
Dice the tomatoes into small pieces. If you prefer a smoother curry, you may blend them into a puree.
Finely chop the green chili. Peel and grate the ginger and garlic.
Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.
Add cumin seeds and allow them to sputter, followed by a pinch of asafoetida.
Stir in the grated ginger, garlic, and chopped green chili. Saute for a minute until aromatic.
Add the turmeric powder, coriander powder, and red chili powder, stirring for a few seconds to release their flavors.
Introduce the potatoes into the pan, stirring well to coat with the spice mix.
Add the diced or pureed tomatoes, mix well, and cover the pan. Allow the mixture to simmer on low heat for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally until the potatoes are cooked through and soft.
Uncover, sprinkle garam masala over the curry, and mix well. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves.
