Ingredients

• 500 grams Baby potatoes
• 4 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 1 large Onion
• 2 medium Tomato
• 1 tablespoon Ginger-garlic paste
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 100 grams Low-fat yogurt
• 200 milliliters Water
• 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander leaves

Directions

Step 1

Wash and boil the baby potatoes in salted water until they are soft but still firm, about 10 minutes. Drain and peel them carefully.

Step 2

Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large pan. Add the peeled baby potatoes and shallow fry until they turn golden brown. Remove and set aside.

Step 3

In the same pan, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil. Add the cumin seeds and let them splutter.

Step 4

Finely chop the onion and add it to the pan. Sauté until they turn golden brown.

Step 5

Make a puree out of the tomatoes and add it to the pan along with ginger-garlic paste.

Step 6

Cook this mixture until the oil starts to separate from the edges.

Step 7

Add turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and salt. Mix well.

Step 8

Lower the heat and stir in the yogurt gradually to prevent curdling. Mix thoroughly.

Step 9

Add 200 milliliters of water to create a gravy. Let it simmer for a few minutes.

Step 10

Add the golden-fried potatoes to the gravy, covering them well with the sauce.

Step 11

Cover the pan and cook on low heat for another 10-15 minutes to let the potatoes absorb the flavors.

Step 12

Stir in garam masala towards the end and adjust salt if needed.

Step 13

Garnish with fresh coriander leaves on top before serving.

Step 14

Serve hot with steamed rice or Indian flatbreads.
