Ingredients

5 medium-sized potatoes

2 green chillies (finely chopped)

1 medium-sized tomato (optional)

1 tsp ginger-garlic paste

8 to 10 curry leaves

¼ tsp turmeric powder

¼ tsp red chilli powder (optional)

½ tsp cumin seeds

¾ tsp coriander powder

Salt to taste

4 tbsp oil

Few coriander leaves (finely chopped)

Method 

Boil potatoes in a pressure cooker with three cups of water for 10 minutes. Peel and cut the boiled potatoes into small pieces. Take a kadai and put oil. Add cumin seeds. When they splutter and swell, add ginger-garlic paste, green chillies and curry leaves.

In a minute or two they will change colour. Now reduce flame and add chopped potatoes. Sprinkle all dry masalas and mix well with a spatula. Add salt, coriander leaves & chopped tomato. Cover with fitting lid & cook on low flame for five to eight minutes mixing occasionally.

Serve with hot puris.
