Simplest Potato Curry


This is a perfect comfort food after a hectic day or long hours of travel. Easy to digest and quick to cook in just the pressure cooker with a minimum amount of chopping , I can confidently say that this curry truly befits its name.

2.    ¼ cup finely chopped onion.
3.    ¼ cup chopped tomatoes.
4.    One green chilli chopped fine.
5.    4 garlic cloves (approx. size one inch) chopped fine.
6.    One inch ginger, grated or very thinly sliced.

      (d)   Two pinches of asafoetida (Heeng).
      (e)   ¼ teaspoon turmeric powder.
      (f)    ½ teaspoon red chilli powder.
10.  Two tablespoons chopped coriander leaves.

Method

1.   Cut the potatoes into small pieces (½ inch to ¾ inch).
2.  Place all the ingredients from 1 to 8 all together in the pressure cooker.
3.   Give two whistles and let the steam go off on its own.
4.  Take oil /ghee and add mustard seeds, the moment they splutter, add the curry leaves followed by asafoetida and turmeric and a little red chilli powder for colour.
5.    Pour it into the pressure cooker.
