Potato Gravy

Potatoes are my favorite comfort food.  I add them to almost every vegetable I make. They are said to be high in carbohydrate and not so recommended by dieters. However, if eaten in healthy form, they are good source of Vitamins, Potassium, Copper and Dietary Fiber.

Here is a simple potato recipe which is quite popular in my kitchen.

 

Ingredients:

4 Medium Size Potato:  Boiled, Peeled and cut in to cubes

2 Medium Size Tomato: Chopped finely

1 Medium Size Red Onion:  Chopped finely

Ginger Garlic Paste: 1 table spoon

Cumin Powder: 1/2 table spoon

 

Cumin Seeds: 1/4 table spoon

Cilantro to garnish

Shredded Ginger (Optional)

Pinch of Turmeric

Cooking oil- 4 table spoon

Method: 

Heat oil in a cooking pan, crack some cumin seeds and add onion.  After onion turns soft and light brown, add ginger garlic paste, turmeric, salt, cumin powder and cook in medium heat for 1-2 minute. Then, add tomato and cook until it turns in to gravy and oil start to separate. After that, add potatoes in to the gravy and mix it well.  Let it cook on medium heat for 4-5 minutes, stir occasionally so that paste doesn’t coat on bottom of the pan.   

                      

                     

 

You can add small amount of shredded ginger if you love the taste of raw ginger but it’s optional. Turn off the heat and garnish with cilantro. Serve it warm as a side dish or with rice/naan.
