Categories     VEGETARIAN RECIPES

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 medium potatoes diced into small cubes
1 medium onion finely chopped
1 tsp garlic ginger paste
1/2 tsp crushed red chili flakes
1/2 tsp red chili powder
1/4 tsp turmeric powder (haldi)
2 medium tomatoes chopped
1 1/2 tsp salt or to taste
2 cups water or as needed
1/3 cup oil
1/2 tsp cumin seeds (zeera)
1/2 tsp nigella seeds (kalongi)
1/4 tsp mustard seeds (rye)
1/2 tsp fennel seeds (saunf)
1/4 tsp carom seeds (ajwain)

Steps:

  • In a pot or pan, add oil, onion and all dry spices and heat at medium flame until the onions become light brown.
  • Then add all the other spices, salt and tomatoes. Reduce the flame to medium low and cover the pot. Allow tomatoes to soften up for 5 mins.
  • Once the tomatoes soften up, add potatoes along with 2 cups of water.
  • Cover the pot once more and let the potatoes simmer for 15 mins at medium low flame.
  • The potatoes in this curry are super soft, and over cooked. The overcooking causes some of the fine potato pieces to become mushy and give this dish a thick curry base.
  • Once you reach the desired consistency, turn off the flame and serve with parathas, or halwa puri (fried flatbread)
