For 4 servings
Prepare the Potatoes: If not already done, boil the potatoes until fork-tender. Peel the skin off and gently crumble them with your hands into uneven, bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
Temper the Spices: Heat ghee in a kadai or heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the cumin seeds, mustard seeds, and fennel seeds. Allow them to splutter for about 30-40 seconds. Then, add the hing and broken dried red chillies, and sauté for another 15 seconds until fragrant.
Sauté Aromatics: Add the grated ginger and slit green chillies to the pan. Sauté for about 1 minute until the raw aroma of the ginger disappears.
Cook the Masala Base: Pour in the tomato puree. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the puree thickens and you see ghee starting to separate at the edges. Now, add the turmeric powder, red chilli powder, and coriander powder. Mix well and cook for another minute.
Combine with Potatoes: Add the crumbled potatoes and salt to the pan. Gently toss to coat the potatoes evenly with the masala, being careful not to mash them further. Sauté for 1-2 minutes.
Simmer the Curry: Pour in 2 cups of water and stir everything together. Bring the curry to a rolling boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 7-8 minutes. This allows the potatoes to absorb the flavors and the gravy to develop.
