Ingredients

• 500 grams Baby potatoes
• 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 1 large Onion
• 4 pieces Garlic cloves
• 1 inch Ginger
• 2 medium Tomatoes
• 3 tablespoons Yogurt
• 0.5 teaspoons Turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 1.5 teaspoons Coriander powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Garam masala
• 1 cup Water
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro

Directions

Step 1

Wash the baby potatoes, boil them until tender, peel off their skin, and set them aside.

Step 2

Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. Lightly fry the boiled potatoes until golden brown on all sides. Remove and set aside.

Step 3

In the same pan, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter.

Step 4

Finely chop the onion, garlic, and ginger. Add them to the pan and sauté until the onions turn translucent and slightly golden.

Step 5

Puree the tomatoes in a blender and add the puree to the pan. Cook until the oil separates from the mixture.

Step 6

Add turmeric powder, red chili powder, and coriander powder to the tomato-onion mixture. Stir well to combine.

Step 7

Lower the heat and slowly add the yogurt, stirring constantly to ensure it does not curdle.

Step 8

Add the fried potatoes to the pan. Mix well so the potatoes are coated with the spice mixture.

Step 9

Pour in 1 cup of water and add salt. Cover the pan with a lid and let the potatoes simmer for 10-12 minutes, allowing them to absorb the flavors.

Step 10

Add garam masala and give the curry a final stir. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro.

Step 11

Serve hot with steamed rice, roti, or naan.
