Servings: persons

10 -12 small potatoes
2 tomatoes
2 garlic cloves
1/2 teaspoon ginger
2 dried red chilies
1 1/2 teaspoons cumin powder
1 tablespoon garam masala
2 cloves
2 cardamoms
1/2 teaspoon fennel seed
1/2 cup plain yogurt
2 tablespoons canola oil
salt

1
Boil whole potatoes in salted water until they are easy to peel- they should not be mushy. If you have the larger variety of small potatoes, cut them in half.
2
While potatoes are boiling, grind together the tomatoes, red chili, ginger and garlic. Set aside.
3
Prick the peeled and boiled potatoes with a fork and lightly saute them in 1 tbsp canola oil until they have a light golden crust and set aside on a plate.
4
While the potatoes are frying, make a powder of the cloves, cardamoms, fennel seeds and whisk the powder with the yogurt. Set aside.
5
In a pan, heat the remaining 1 tbsp canola oil, and add the tomato mixture.
6
Cook, stirring frequently for 5-7 mins or until the raw smell of tomatoes and garlic is gone.
7
Add the yogurt mixture slowly to the pan, continue stirring for 1-2 minutes.
8
Add salt to taste, cumin powder and garam masala. If it looks dry, add about 1/2 cup of water at this point, and allow to cook for 5 minutes on low heat.
9
Add the potatoes, stir well, cover and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the gravy is moderately chunky.
10
Garnish with cilantro if you like, and serve!
