Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Potatoes
- 1 medium Onion
- 2 medium Tomatoes
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves
- 1 inch piece Ginger
- 1 small Green chili
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 2 teaspoons Coriander powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Garam masala
- 1 teaspoon Paprika or Kashmiri red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 cups Water
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro (fresh coriander)
Instructions
Peel and dice the potatoes into bite-sized cubes. Finely chop the onion, tomatoes, garlic, ginger, green chili, and cilantro.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan or pot over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the chopped onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and golden brown.
Stir in the garlic, ginger, and green chili. Cook for 1 minute until aromatic.
Add the chopped tomatoes and cook for 4-5 minutes until they break down and form a thick paste.
Stir in the coriander powder, turmeric powder, paprika or Kashmiri red chili powder, and garam masala. Cook for 1-2 minutes to toast the spices.
Add the diced potatoes and stir to coat them in the spice mixture.
Pour in the water and add salt. Stir well and bring the mixture to a boil.
Lower the heat, cover the pot, and let the curry simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the sauce thickens. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Taste and adjust salt or spices as desired.
Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve hot with steamed rice, flatbread, or noodles.
