Potato gravy | Potato curry

Potato gravy is an easy side dish for dosa, idly, chapati, poori and is prepared with boiled potatoes, ground coconut/cashew paste and few spices.

This simple potato curry is quick to prepare as it involves fewer steps compared to any other complicated kurmas. Moreover, the binding agent I use for this aloo curry is simple coconut paste. Alternately you can use cashew paste if you prefer a richer coconut free gravy.

The simple potato gravy is an excellent combination with chapati or poori. Also, the combination of this potato curry and crispy dosa is equally good.

Even though it is recommended to consume potatoes moderately because of their higher carbs content, there are many health benefits too present in this tasty vegetable.

As I already mentioned in many of my potato recipe posts, Potatoes contain significant amounts of fiber. Fiber helps to lower the total amount of cholesterol in the blood, thereby decreasing the risk of heart disease.

In addition, boiled potatoes help in Fighting cancer, controlling your diabetes and getting stronger bones.

Potatoes contain fiber, potassium, vitamin C, and vitamin B6 content, coupled with its lack of cholesterol, all support heart health.

1 tsp ginger garlic paste
2 small tomatoes
¼ tsp turmeric powder
1 tsp chilli powder
¾ coriander powder
¾ tsp salt
¼ tsp garam masala

To grind:

½ cup coconut
1 tsp cumin seeds

Instructions

Preparation:

Boil potatoes with enough water, only for one or two whistles in a pressure cooker.
Open once the pressure is off, drain away the water, let them cool down, peel and cut into pieces.
Chop big onion.
Prepare ginger garlic paste with 5 garlic pods and a piece of ginger, if not available readily.
Finally, grind coconut(or soaked cashews) with cumin seeds into a fine paste.

Recipe to make potato curry:

Heat a kadai with two tbsp of oil, season with cloves, cinnamon and fennel seeds.
Saute chopped onions until they become soft and transparent.
Now put ginger garlic paste and saute until the raw flavor disappears completely.
Add chopped tomatoes and cook well until soft.
Put the spices like turmeric powder, chilli powder and coriander powder. Mix well with the masala. Pour half cup of water to cook the masala.

Stir well, cover with a lid and cook for five minutes.
Add the boiled potatoes and required salt for the gravy along with a cup of water.

Notes

Tips: 1) Use fresh non-green potatoes and cook only al-dente. Likewise, do not overcook as they may get mashed into the gravy. 2) Instead of coconut paste, you can use cashew paste for the binding of the gravy.
