After a minute, add cumin seeds (Jeera).
Add grated ginger.

Mix them well, add 1/4 glass of water, and put the lid. Cook it for 2 minutes. Now add tomato puree and 1/2 a glass of water.

Also add kasuri methi (Optional).
Mix them well and cook the curry on slow burner for 5 more minutes. Now add the potatoes.
Mix them well.
Add a glass of water and wait for it to boil.
