Ingredients

  • 3 medium potatoes

  • 1 tbsp oil

  • 1 tsp cumin seeds

  • ½ tsp salt

  • ½ tsp red chilli flakes

  • 2 tbsp tomato paste

  • 2 tbsp tamarind pulp

  • fresh coriander leaves

  • green chillies

Directions

  • Cut the potatoes in walnut-sized chunks. I like to keep the skin on but you can peel it if you want.
  • Heat oil in a pan and fry the cumin seeds until they’re slightly golden.
  • Add red chilli flakes & salt, and fry for 10-15 seconds.
  • Cover and cook the potatoes till they’re almost done.
  • Add the tomato paste and tamarind pulp. Toss to coat the potatoes well.
  • Cover and cook on low for another 5 minutes.
  • Remove the cover and cook on high until the water dries out.
  • Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and chopped green chillies.
