Ingredients

• 1 pound baby potatoes
• 1 cup yogurt
• 1 medium onion
• 1 tablespoon ginger
• 1 teaspoon garam masala
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon coriander
• 1 whole green chili
• 2 tablespoons oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup water
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro

Instructions

1. 1

   Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and boil them in salted water for about 10-12 minutes or until fork-tender. Drain and set aside.

2. 2

   In a blender, add the onion, ginger, and green chili. Blend until smooth, adding a little water if necessary to create a paste.

3. 3

   In a large pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion-ginger paste and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the raw smell disappears and it turns golden brown.

4. 4

   Add the cumin, coriander, and garam masala to the pan. Stir well and cook for another 2 minutes to release the spices' aroma.

5. 5

   Lower the heat and add the yogurt gradually while stirring continuously to avoid curdling. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the mixture is well combined.

6. 6

   Add the boiled baby potatoes to the gravy, along with salt and water. Stir gently to coat the potatoes with the gravy.

7. 7

   Cover the pan with a lid and let it simmer on low heat for 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

8. 8

   Once done, remove from heat and garnish with chopped fresh cilantro before serving.
