Method:

  • Heat a sauce pan on medium high with some oil.
  • When oil is hot add in bay leaf, curry leaves and mustard seeds.
  • Add onion and sauté until the onion starts to go translucent.
  • Add tomato and sauté very well.
  • Add turmeric and curry powder; sauté until mixture starts to brown . Add in more oil as needed.
  • Fry until mixture becomes dark brown (note not to burnt), it doesn't take too long; add grounded paste; stir well. This is a base curry for any vegetable/chicken curry.
  • Add in boiled potatoes and chickpeas, you need to add some water if you want more curry and stir well.
  • Add salt to taste;garnish with chopped cilantro leaves.
  • Curry goes very well with naan, chappati or on some plain rice.

Note:


  • You can use raw potatoes instead of boiled but you need to bring mixture to a boil, stir and turn heat down to medium low, cover and cook,
  • stirring the curry every few minutes, until potatoes are done. It takes 15-20 min.
  • It is okay, if the potatoes fall apart in fact it makes curry more yummier.
