Equipment needed

Pressure cooker or saucepan for potatoes; kadai or heavy pan; spatula.

Advance preparation

Hard-boil and peel the potatoes in advance. If frying the potatoes before adding them to the gravy, this can also be done shortly before final cooking.

Instructions:

For the sabzi

  • Wash and boil baby potatoes until just cooked but firm. Peel and prick lightly with a fork.
  • Heat half the oil in a pan and sauté potatoes until lightly golden on the surface. Remove and keep aside.
  • In the same pan, add remaining oil. Add cumin, bay leaf and cardamom. Allow spices to crackle.
  • Add onions and cook until light golden. Add ginger, garlic, and green chilli and sauté for 2 minutes.
  • Add tomatoes, turmeric, chilli powder, coriander powder and salt. Cook until soft and oil begins separating.
  • Cool slightly and blend into a smooth paste.
  • Return blended gravy to pan. Add curd gradually while stirring continuously on low heat. Add 1 cup of water and simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Add roasted potatoes and kasuri methi and mix. Cover tightly and cook on very low heat for 10 to 12 minutes so potatoes absorb the gravy flavors.
  • Add garam masala. Mix and turn off the flame

Serving guidance

Garnish with chopped coriander and optionally with julienned ginger. Serve hot with roti, lachha paratha, poori or jeera rice.
