Ingredients

  • 2 cups Potatoes boiled approx 3 to 4 medium
  • 1 tablespoon Ghee
  • 1 teaspoon Cumin Seeds
  • 1/4 teaspoon Fenugreek Seeds
  • 1/4 teaspoon Fennel Seeds
  • 2-3 Dried Red Chilies
  • 1/8 teaspoon Asafoetida / Hing
  • 1.5 teaspoon Red Chili Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Turmeric Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Coriander Powder
  • 1 cup Tomato puree
  • Salt to taste
  • 1/2 cup Curds / Yogurt

Instructions

Boiling Potatoes

  • We use boiled potatoes in this gravy. So you can either boil the potatoes in a microwave or a pressure cooker.
  • If using Microwave, then wash and make slashes on the top. Microwave for 7 minutes. Remove and soak in water for the skin to peel off easily.
  • If using a Pressure cooker, srub the potatoes, and add water enough to cover the potatoes. Cut into half and pressure cook for 2 to 3 whistles.
  • Once you peel the skin, allow it to cool down and mash it roughly with your hands.

Making the gravy

  • Heat a kadai or a nonstick pan with ghee.
  • Add cumin seeds, fennel seeds, red chilies, and hing.
  • To prevent the spices from getting burnt, add a teaspoon of water right away.
  • Next add chili powder, turmeric powder, and coriander powder.
  • Mix well and add the tomato puree and sauté till the ghee separates.
  • This takes about 5 minutes, once you see the tomato cooked well, add the crumbled potatoes.
  • When it starts cooking, add salt and mix well.
  • Add 1/2 cup water and bring to a boil.
  • Simmer and add beaten curds, mix well and switch off the flame.
