Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized medium-sized potatoes (peeled and diced)
- 1 medium medium onion (finely chopped)
- 2 each tomatoes (chopped)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 inch ginger (grated)
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil (canola or vegetable oil)
Spices
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- to taste none Salt
Garnish
- to taste none Fresh cilantro For garnish
Instructions
Preparation
- In a large pot over medium heat, warm the oil. Add cumin seeds and let them sizzle for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the chopped onion and cook until it turns golden and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional minute until aromatic.
- Toss in the chopped tomatoes, turmeric, coriander powder, and salt. Let this mixture simmer for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Introduce the diced potatoes to the pot, mixing everything thoroughly. Pour in enough water to cover the potatoes—around 2 cups should do—and bring it to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes until the potatoes are fork-tender and the sauce thickens.
- Right before serving, sprinkle garam masala over the curry and mix gently. Garnish with fresh cilantro.
- Enjoy your delicious potato curry hot with rice or bread!
Notes
If you want to vary up the recipe, consider swapping potatoes for sweet potatoes or adding chickpeas for a protein boost. Keep an eye on your potatoes; aim for fork tenderness. Avoid using too much water at the beginning to retain richness and flavor.
