Potato Kofta

Tender potato folded into a glossy, aromatic gravy — the kind of pakistani home cooking that gets requested again and again. About 32 minutes from fridge to table.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat the Ghee in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat until shimmering.

  2. 2

    Add the onion and cook until golden and softened, 6-8 minutes, stirring so it doesn't catch.

  3. 3

    Stir in the garlic plus the garam masala, ground coriander and red chili powder; toast for about a minute until the kitchen smells incredible.

  4. 4

    Add the potato, turning every piece through the spice base so it's fully coated, and sear lightly.

  5. 5

    Pour in the tomato puree, bring to a gentle bubble, then cover and simmer until the potato is tender.

  6. 6

    Uncover and reduce until the sauce clings to a spoon. Finish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lemon.

Chef's tip

Prep everything before the heat goes on — pakistani cooking moves fast once it starts.
