Instructions
- Boil the potatoes till they are cooked through (Knife slides in easily).
- Cool them enough to peel them and then loosely break them into clumps with your hands.
- Quarter the tomatoes and cook them with a little water till they are soft, then mash them to get a thick puree and set them aside for later.
- Heat the oil and add the ginger and garlic and saute for about 30 seconds.
- Add the cumin and carom seeds and saute them for about 30 seconds.
- Add the potatoes and saute them for 1 minute.
- Add the tomato puree, the salt, red chili powder, turmeric powder and coriander powder along with 1 cup of water and mix well together. Cover and cook on medium heat for 15 minutes (SEE NOTES)
- Uncover, mash the potatoes a bit (you want some whole pieces of potato and some mashed)
- Add the curry leaves, the whole dried red chilies and the amchur powder, cover and simmer for another 5-10 minutes (depending on your stove and how much water you have left.
- Garnish with cilantro and serve.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- The Water - Because the potatoes are broken down, they will continue to release starch as they cook. You may notice that you need to add a little more water as you go along. I usually keep a glass of water next to me and add it in small amounts if I feel the curry is getting too thick.
