For 4 servings
Heat oil in a heavy-bottomed pan or kadai over medium heat. Once hot, add the cumin seeds and allow them to splutter for about 30 seconds. Add the hing and stir for a few seconds.
Add the thinly sliced onions and sauté, stirring frequently, for 8-10 minutes until they are deeply golden brown and caramelized. This step is crucial for developing the sweet, rich base flavor of the curry.
Stir in the ginger-garlic paste and slit green chilies. Cook for about 1 minute until the raw aroma disappears.
Add the tomato puree. Sauté for 2 minutes, then add the spice powders: turmeric, red chili powder, and coriander powder. Mix everything well and cook the masala, stirring occasionally, for 4-5 minutes until it thickens and you see oil separating at the edges.
Add the cubed potatoes and salt. Gently stir to coat the potatoes evenly with the masala. Sauté for 2 more minutes.
Pour in 1.5 cups of water and stir well. Bring the curry to a rolling boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pan and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender. You can check by piercing a potato with a knife; it should go through easily.
Once the potatoes are cooked, sprinkle in the garam masala and amchur powder. Stir gently and let the curry simmer for another 1-2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Yes, it is a wholesome and balanced vegetarian dish. Potatoes provide essential carbohydrates and potassium, while onions and tomatoes offer antioxidants. It is naturally vegan and gluten-free. To make it healthier, you can reduce the amount of oil used.
Yes, you can make a version without tomatoes. Substitute the tomato puree with 1/4 cup of whisked plain yogurt (dahi). Add the yogurt after the onions are cooked and stir continuously on low heat to prevent curdling before adding the potatoes.
Store any leftover sabzi in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The gravy tends to thicken when cooled; you may need to add a splash of hot water while reheating it on the stovetop or in the microwave.
If your gravy is too watery, you can simmer it uncovered for a few more minutes to allow some water to evaporate. Alternatively, you can mash a few pieces of the cooked potato directly in the pan and stir; the starch will help thicken the gravy naturally.
