Instructions
Peel and dice the potato into bite-sized cubes. Finely chop the onion, tomato, garlic, and ginger.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a small pan over medium heat.
Add 0.5 teaspoon of cumin seeds to the hot oil and let them sizzle for 30 seconds until aromatic.
Add the chopped onion, and sauté for 2-3 minutes until translucent.
Add the garlic and ginger, and sauté for another minute.
Stir in the chopped tomato, and cook for 2-3 minutes until the tomatoes soften and start to break down.
Add the turmeric powder, ground coriander, ground cumin, red chili powder, and salt. Mix well and cook for 1 minute to toast the spices.
Add the diced potato to the pan, and stir to coat it with the spice mixture.
Pour in 0.5 cup of water and bring to a gentle simmer.
Cover the pan with a lid and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and the curry thickens.
Taste and adjust salt if needed.
