Ingredients

  • 700 g potatoes about 4 medium
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp mustard seeds
  • 1 large onion 150g
  • 3 garlic cloves 10g
  • 1 tbsp grated ginger 15g
  • 2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1 tsp turmeric
  • 1 tsp garam masala
  • 400 g canned tomatoes
  • 200 ml coconut milk
  • 1-1.5 tsp salt
  • Fresh cilantro 10g

Instructions

  • Parboil potatoes until just tender, drain, and set aside to retain shape.
  • Bloom mustard seeds and cumin in hot oil until fragrant and popping.
  • Sauté onions to deep golden, add garlic and ginger until aromatic.
  • Add ground spices and cook briefly to remove raw edge and build aroma.
  • Stir in tomatoes and simmer until oil separates and sauce thickens slightly.
  • Add potatoes and coconut milk, simmer gently so potatoes soak up the sauce.
  • Finish with garam masala and cilantro, adjust salt, then serve hot.
