Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Oil
- 1 medium Onion
- 3 Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Ginger
- 3 medium Tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 2 cups Water
- 2 teaspoons Sugar
- 1.5 tablespoons White vinegar
- 0.75 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoons Cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoons Red chili powder
- 1.5 teaspoons Coriander powder
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
Instructions
Peel and cut the potatoes into cubes. Rinse them under cold water and set aside.
Finely chop the onion, garlic, and ginger. Dice the tomatoes into small pieces.
Heat the oil in a large skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat.
Add the cumin seeds to the hot oil and let them sizzle for 30 seconds until aromatic.
Add the chopped onion and sauté until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the garlic and ginger, cooking for another 1 minute.
Add the diced tomatoes and cook until they soften and break down, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the tomato paste, turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and salt. Mix well.
Add the potato cubes to the pan and toss to coat them in the spice mixture.
Pour in the water and bring the mixture to a boil.
Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover the pan, and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
Stir in the sugar and white vinegar, adjusting to taste to achieve the perfect sweet-and-sour balance.
Let the gravy simmer for another 2-3 minutes to thicken slightly.
Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro before serving.
Serve hot with steamed rice, naan, or any flatbread of your choice.
