Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Potatoes
- 3 medium Tomatoes
- 1 cup Coconut milk
- 1 medium Onion
- 3 large Garlic cloves
- 1 inch piece Ginger
- 2 small Green chili
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
- 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander leaves
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Water
Instructions
Peel and chop the potatoes into bite-sized cubes. Set them aside in a bowl of water to prevent browning.
Roughly chop the tomatoes, onion, garlic, ginger, and green chilies.
Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet or pan over medium heat.
Add the chopped onions and sauté until soft and golden brown, about 5 minutes.
Add the garlic, ginger, and green chilies to the pan. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in the coriander powder, cumin powder, turmeric powder, and red chili powder. Cook for 30 seconds to toast the spices.
Add the chopped tomatoes to the pan and cook until they break down into a thick paste, about 5-7 minutes.
Drain the potatoes and add them to the pan. Stir well to coat them evenly with the tomato-spice mixture.
Pour in 1 cup of water and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cover the pan and let the potatoes cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender.
Once the potatoes are cooked, lower the heat and stir in the coconut milk. Simmer gently for 2-3 minutes, ensuring the sauce thickens slightly.
Add garam masala and salt. Mix well and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Garnish with fresh coriander leaves before serving.
Serve hot with steamed rice, naan, or roti.
