Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into 1-inch pieces.

Sautéing the Potatoes

  • Heat the oil in a pressure cooker or a heavy-bottomed pot. Add the fenugreek seeds and let them crackle.
  • Add the potatoes and sauté for 1 minute. Stir in the red chili powder and turmeric powder, and sauté for another 5-6 minutes until slightly softened.

Spice Paste

  • Grind the mustard seeds, cumin seeds, and garlic cloves into a smooth paste using a mortar and pestle or a food processor.

Simmering the Curry

  • Add the spice paste to the pressure cooker and sauté for 1 minute. Add the chopped tomatoes and mix well.
  • Pour in 1 cup of water (adjust for desired gravy consistency). Close the lid and pressure cook on medium heat for 1 whistle. After the whistle, simmer on low heat for 5 minutes.

Finishing Touches

  • Carefully release the pressure from the cooker. Open the lid and stir in the salt. Mix well and adjust seasoning.
  • Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves.
  • Serve hot with your favorite Indian bread or rice.
