Ingredients

• 500 grams Potatoes
• 1 medium Onion
• 1 medium Tomato
• 1 small Green chili
• 1 inch piece Ginger
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Cooking oil
• 0.25 cup Fresh coriander leaves
• 1 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

Peel and chop the potatoes into small cubes and set them aside in a bowl of water to prevent browning.

Step 2

Finely chop the onion, tomato, green chili, and fresh coriander leaves. Crush or finely grate the ginger and garlic.

Step 3

Heat the cooking oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the cumin seeds to the hot oil and let them splutter for a few seconds.

Step 5

Add the chopped onion to the pan and sauté until they turn golden brown.

Step 6

Add the ginger, garlic, and green chili to the onions, and continue to sauté for a minute until fragrant.

Step 7

Stir in the chopped tomato and cook until it becomes soft and pulpy.

Step 8

Add the turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and salt. Mix well and cook for another 1-2 minutes.

Step 9

Drain the potatoes and add them to the pan. Stir them to coat evenly with the spice mixture.

Step 10

Pour in the water, cover the pan, and let the potatoes simmer on low heat for about 15-20 minutes or until they are tender and all the flavors have melded together.

Step 11

Check occasionally, giving it a gentle stir and adding a little more water if required, to prevent the mixture from sticking to the pan.

Step 12

Once the potatoes are cooked and the sauce has thickened to your liking, sprinkle the garam masala over the top.

Step 13

Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves before serving.

Step 14

Serve the Aalu Sabji hot with roti, puri, or steamed rice.
