Ingredients
- 1 lb New or Gold potatoes or 15 oz can cubed potatoes

- 15 oz can diced tomatoes

Instructions
- If using canned potatoes go to Step 2 or peel and cube the potatoes. Cook in heavily salted water for 6 minutes or until fork tender, drain.
- In a pot over medium high heat melt the ghee or butter. Saute the onion and garlic for several minutes, until onions are translucent.
- Add the curry powder, garam masala, salt and cayenne powder. Stir to mix and continue to cook on medium for 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes and their liquid and cook another 2 minutes. At this point you can use an immersion blender to puree or leave chunky.
