Spiced Potato Curry Recipe

Here I am again writing something I have tried… I found this from a website and tried and it came out pretty well :)
Ingredients:

1. 2-3 medium potatoes
2. 1 tsp cumin seeds
3. 1 tsp grated ginger
4. 2-3 crushed garlic pods (skin removed)
5. 1 tsp coriander seeds (crushed)
6. 1 tsp fennel seeds (crushed)
7. ½ tsp pepper powder
8. 2-3 slit green chillies
9. Pinch of turmeric
10. Handful Coriander leaves chopped
11. Salt
12. oil

Method:

• Peel the potato roughly and cut into cubes/bite size pieces.
• Boil water in a sauce pan and then add the chopped potatoes and salt. Let it cook, but make sure there is still some bite to it.
• After it is cooked, drain the water completely and keep aside.
• Now heat a flat pan/kadhai and add some oil. Add the cumin seeds, garlic and ginger. Stir until garlic ginger is cooked and slightly browned.
• Now add the crushed fennel seeds, coriander seeds, pepper powder and give it a stir.
• Add the cooked potatoes, green chillies, salt and stir well in intervals.
• Let this cook for about 6-7 minutes until the sides have browned, spices are coated well.
• Finally garnish with coriander leaves.
