Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams small potatoes
- 3 tablespoons oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 whole bay leaf
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 2 teaspoons ginger garlic paste
- 2 medium tomato, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 100 ml coconut cream
- 200 ml water
- 2 tablespoons fresh coriander leaves, chopped
Instructions
Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into halves if they are large or leave them whole if small-sized.
Boil the potatoes in a pot of water until they are just cooked but still firm to avoid breaking them during cooking. Drain and set aside.
Heat the oil in a deep frying pan or wok over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and the bay leaf. Fry until the seeds begin to splutter.
Add the chopped onion and sauté until golden brown.
Stir in the ginger garlic paste and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the chopped tomatoes and cook until they become soft and the oil starts to separate from the mixture.
Sprinkle the turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and garam masala. Mix well and cook for another 2 minutes.
Add the boiled potatoes, mixing gently to coat them evenly with the spice mixture.
Pour in the coconut cream and water, and add salt. Stir to combine.
Cover the pan and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes, allowing the potatoes to absorb the flavors and ensuring the sauce is thickened to your preference.
Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and serve hot with rice or vegan bread.
