Potato Kadhai

🇮🇳 Indian

High heat, big flavour: potato seared with aromatics and a shiny sauce that clings to every bite. About 17 minutes from fridge to table.

Prep 10 min Cook 7 min Serves 3 Easy

Ingredients

  • Garam Masala1 tsp
  • Tomato Puree2 tbsp
  • Kasuri Methi1 tbsp
  • Saltto taste
  • Garlic4 cloves, minced
  • Ghee2 tbsp
  • Potato4 large, cubed
  • Bell Pepper1, sliced
  • Spring Onions3, cut into batons

Optional extras

  • Fresh Cilantrohandful, to finish

Instructions

  1. 1

    Warm the oil in a kadhai until it ripples, then crackle the whole spices for a few seconds.

  2. 2

    Add the Potato and brown it well, resisting the urge to stir too often — colour is flavour.

  3. 3

    Stir in Ghee and Garlic, softening them into the spiced oil.

  4. 4

    Season, add a splash of water, and simmer covered until the Potato is tender and the sauce has thickened.

  5. 5

    Uncover and raise the heat for the last two minutes to reduce the masala until it clings to the Potato.

  6. 6

    Rest for five minutes off the heat, garnish with coriander, and serve with bread or rice.

Chef's tip

For deeper flavour, toast the garam masala in the oil before adding anything wet.
