- Add coriander powder, cumin powder, red chilli powder and 1 tsp salt and mix well.
- Add tomatoes and increase flame to medium. Cover and cook till tomatoes are soft (make sure the water has not dried completely, you need it to cook the potatoes in step 7).

- In the sliced potatoes add ½ tsp salt and toss well.
- Layer the potato slices over the shrimp and tomato. No need to mix. Cover and cook on low heat until potatoes are soft and water has completely dried (the oil will rise up).
