Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams potatoes
- 1 large onion
- 3 medium garlic cloves
- 1 inch fresh ginger
- 2 medium tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 250 milliliters water
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
Instructions
Peel and dice the potatoes into 1-inch cubes and set aside in a bowl of water to prevent browning.
Finely chop the onion. Mince the garlic and ginger. Dice the tomatoes.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds until they become aromatic.
Add the chopped onion to the pan and sauté until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and ginger and cook for another 2 minutes.
Add the diced tomatoes into the pan and cook until they soften and start to break down, about 5 minutes.
Add turmeric powder, coriander powder, red chili powder, and salt, stirring well to combine with the tomato mixture.
Drain the potatoes and add them to the pan. Stir well to coat the potatoes with the spice mixture.
Pour in the water, cover the pan with a lid, and let the curry simmer on low heat for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when poked with a fork.
Once the potatoes are cooked, sprinkle garam masala on top and stir gently.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and serve hot with rice or naan.
