Ingredients
For the Potato Curry
- 2 large Potatoes
- 1 cup Yogurt
- 1 tbsp Chili Powder adjust to your spice preference, red
- 1/2 tsp Turmeric Powder
- 1 tbsp Mustard Powder
- 1 tsp Salt or to taste
- 1/2 tbsp Fennel Seeds
- 3/4 tbsp Mustard Oil
- 1 tbsp Coriander for garnish
- 1 tsp Garam Masala adds depth of flavor, optional
Optional Additions
- 1/4 cup Onion chopped, sautéed before adding potatoes
- 1 tsp Ginger-Garlic Paste adds pungency, optional
Instructions
Prepare the Yogurt Mixture
- Whisk together the plain yogurt and mustard powder in a bowl. Add salt and garam masala (if using). Set aside for at least 10 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the yogurt to ferment slightly.
Cook the Potatoes
- Boil the potatoes until tender. Peel and cut them into 1-inch cubes.
Sauté Aromatics (Optional)
- Heat mustard oil in a pan over medium heat. Add chopped onion (if using) and sauté until golden brown. Add ginger-garlic paste (if using) and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
Stir-fry Potatoes
- Add fennel seeds to the pan and sauté until fragrant. Add the boiled potato cubes, turmeric powder, and red chili powder. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until the potatoes are lightly browned.
Combine and Simmer
- Reduce heat to low. Pour in the yogurt-mustard mixture, stirring constantly to prevent curdling. Simmer gently for 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly and the flavors have melded. Do not boil.
Garnish and Serve
- Garnish with fresh coriander leaves. Serve hot with roti, naan, or rice.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Perfect Auria
- For a richer flavor, use full-fat yogurt.
- Don't skip the fermentation step; it significantly improves the taste and texture of the curry.
- If the yogurt starts to curdle, add a tablespoon of cold water or milk to help smooth it out.
- Adjust the amount of red chili powder according to your spice preference. For a milder curry, use less.
