Ingredients

• 4 large potatoes, peeled and diced into 1-inch cubes
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or coconut oil
• 1 large onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1-inch piece fresh ginger, grated
• 2 green chilies, finely chopped (adjust to taste)
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
• 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1 tablespoon ground coriander
• 1 tablespoon garam masala
• 1 teaspoon chili powder (adjust to preference)
• 1 large tomato, chopped
• 1 cup coconut milk
• 1 cup water or vegetable broth
• Salt to taste
• Fresh cilantro for garnish
• Juice of half a lemon (optional)

Equipment

• Large heavy-bottomed pan or skillet
• Sharp knife
• Cutting board
• Wooden spoon or spatula
• Measuring spoons and cups
• Grater or microplane for ginger
• Serving bowl

Instructions

1. Prepare your ingredients: Peel and dice the potatoes into bite-sized cubes. Finely chop the onion, garlic, green chilies, and grate the fresh ginger.
2. Heat the oil: In your large pan, warm the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and mustard seeds, letting them sizzle until they start to pop—this releases their flavor.
3. Sauté aromatics: Add the chopped onions, garlic, ginger, and green chilies to the pan. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the onions turn golden and fragrant.
4. Add the spices: Stir in the turmeric, coriander, garam masala, and chili powder. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to toast the spices and deepen their flavors.
5. Incorporate the tomato: Add the chopped tomato and cook until it softens and breaks down, creating a thick base—about 5 minutes.
6. Add potatoes and liquids: Toss in the diced potatoes and stir well to coat with the spices and tomato mixture. Pour in the coconut milk and water or vegetable broth. Season with salt to taste.
7. Simmer the curry: Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover the pan and cook for 20-25 minutes or until the potatoes are tender, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
8. Adjust seasoning and finish: Taste the curry and adjust salt or spice levels if needed. Add lemon juice for a bright, fresh finishing touch. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro.
9. Serve warm: Ladle the curry into bowls and enjoy with steamed rice, naan, or your favorite flatbread.

Tips & Variations

Tip: For a creamier curry, use full-fat coconut milk and simmer gently to avoid curdling.

Variation: Add other vegetables like peas, carrots, or spinach towards the end of cooking for extra nutrition and color.

Spice level: Adjust the number of green chilies and chili powder according to your heat tolerance. Removing the seeds from the chilies will reduce the heat.

Make it smoky: For a hint of smoky flavor, add a pinch of smoked paprika or cook the spices a bit longer before adding the liquids.
