Procedure:
Take a cooking vessel with a heavy base (Kadai) and add some Oil into it. Once the Oil is heated up, add Asafoetida (Hing).

After a minute, add cumin seeds (Jeera).
Add grated ginger.
Add green chilies.
Add salt and turmeric powder.
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.

Keep on stirring the mixture and wait for it to boil. After it boils, put the lid and cook the mixture on slow burner for 5 minutes. Now add garam masala (Optional).
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.
After it boils, cook the curry on slow burner for 15 minutes.
That’s all. The Potato curry is ready. Eat it with Poori and Lassi to enjoy this delicacy.
