Simple Aloo Curry

I crave for potatoes sometimes. And I can't be bothered to spend hours in the kitchen over anything, except of course, Baking! Here's the recipe to a quick aloo dish that someone cooked for me when I was living in Delhi and which I Love with some rotis.

Potatoes: 3 Chopped into big pieces and cooked. Or, use some baby potatoes.
Corriander Powder: 2 tea spoons
Cumin Powder: 2 tea spoons
Garlic Cloves: 3-4 chopped/paste
Tomato : 1 or 2 Chopped fine or pureed
Tamarind Pulp: 1 tbsp
Oil: 2 tablespoons
Salt
Corriander leaves

Cook the potatoes and let them drain.

Heat a pan, pour the oil in, add the corriander powder,cumin powder, garlic cloves,tomatoes, tamarind pulp and salt. Yes. Everything in at the same time.

Cook the lot on a low flame for about 10 minutes or until you can see the oil on the surface.

If you think the curry is too sour, add a tsp of sugar.

Now add the potatoes, coat them with the gravy and cover and cook for 4-5 minutes.

Keep stirring so you dont burn the gravy.

Garnish with corriander leaves.
