Keyword: aloo

Ingredients

  • 1-2 tbsp oil
  • 1/2 red onion
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 1 tsp crushed ginger
  • 1 green chili (jalapeno, serrano, or whatever you prefer)
  • 1 tsp cumin seeds
  • 1 hefty pinch of hing
  • 1 tsp red chili powder
  • 1/4 tsp turmeric
  • 1/2 tsp garam masala
  • 1.5 tsp coriander powder
  • 1/2 tsp amchur powder
  • 1.5 tsp fenugreek leaves
  • salt (to taste)
  • 1/3 c crushed tomatoes (or two fresh tomatoes)
  • fresh cilantro
  • 3 gold potatoes
  • 1 c water

Instructions

  • Sauté your cumin seeds in oil first and then add in your hing.
  • Next, add in your red onions and cook until translucent.
  • Then, add in your ginger and garlic and sauté for another 30 seconds before adding in all of your spices (except for the salt)
  • Cook the spices for about a minute. Make sure to keep the heat on low or low-medium so the spices don't burn.
  • Add in your crushed tomatoes, salt, and green chillies and cook for a few minutes until the oil starts to separate from the mixture.
  • Peel and chop your potatoes and add them in as well along with about a cup of water.
  • Let everything boil until the potatoes are cooked all the way through. You can also adjust the consistency as you like. You can serve this dish "dry" = "sookay." Or, you can add extra water and make it a curry.
