Spicy Aloo-Tamatar Curry with Onions and Green Chillies

1Heat oil (2 tablespoons) in a pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds (1 teaspoon) and let them splutter.

2Add the finely chopped onions (2 medium) and sauté until they turn golden brown.

3Stir in the slit green chillies (2-3) and sauté for another minute.

4Add the diced potatoes (4 medium) and mix well with the onions (2 medium) and chillies.

5Sprinkle turmeric powder (1 teaspoon), red chili powder (1 teaspoon), and salt over the potatoes (4 medium). Stir to coat the potatoes (4 medium) evenly with the spices.

6Add the chopped tomatoes (2 medium) and mix well. Cover the pan and let it cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until the potatoes (4 medium) are tender.

7If the mixture is too dry, add a little water to prevent sticking. Cook until the potatoes (4 medium) are fully cooked and the tomatoes (2 medium) have broken down into a sauce.

8Once the potatoes (4 medium) are cooked, sprinkle garam masala (1 teaspoon) and mix well. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to let the flavors meld together.

9Garnish with fresh coriander leaves (2 tablespoons) before serving.
