Instructions
To Boil the Potatoes
- In a heavy bottom pot, bring water to boil. Once the water is boiling add the rinsed baby potatoes and salt. Give it a stir and let them boil.
- Boil until a fork pierces through softly. Drain the water and show the potatoes in cold water. While the potatoes are still warm peel the skin off and pierce holes in the potatoes using a fork.
For the Curry Sauce
- Soak the dried kashmiri red chilies in warm water for about 15-20 mins. In the meantime chop onions, tomatoes and peel the garlic.
- Once ready, in a blender jar add tomatoes, dried red chillies (no water) and garlic cloves. Pulse it is a smooth paste.
For the Final Curry Sauce
- In a heavy bottom sauce pan on a medium flame add oil. Once heated, add the cumin seeds and let them splutter. Next add asafetida/hing.
- Now add the finely chopped/ crushed onions. Let the cook slowly until the raw aroma is gone and they turn transparent. You can add salt at this stage to accelerate the process.
- Now add the curry sauce we prepared earlier. Let it cook. add a dash of water in the blender jar and shake it well, to make sure you get all that curry.
- Once the oil starts separate, add the boiled baby potatoes. Mix well and simmer until the potatoes soak all that curry in.
- Now take it off the flame, garnish with cilantro and serve it with hot phulkas or parathas.
