  • 1 tablespoon chopped coriander leaves

Instructions
 

  • Firstly, in a wok, add oil and heat it.

  • Check to see whether the aloo has turned soft.
  • Once it has turned soft, switch off the flame.
  • Serve hot with rice, roti or chapathi.
  • Watch the video procedure above.

Notes

  • Here I have slow cooked the potato curry, but it can also be pressure cooked up to 4 whistles to make the aloo soft and fasten the cooking process.
  • After adding water and coriander leaves, just pressure cook the curry and it's done.
  • Adding curry leaves into the curry is totally optional and can be skipped if not required.
  • I have added chopped tomatoes, but one can even add tomato puree instead of tomatoes to make the gravy.
  • A pinch of crushed kasuri methi too can be added at the end to enhance the fragrance and flavour of the curry.
