POTATO AND TOMATO CURRY

This picture doesn't do justice to this delicious curry.  It definitely fits into the ugly delicious category.  Usually served with poori for breakfast throughout India in my house it's an anytime dish.  If you have boiled potatoes (which I always keep...am a chef guys like a well prepped fridge and a well stocked pantry 😊😉) in your fridge with a few Tomatoes in your pantry this dish comes together in 20 mins.  

INGREDIENTS

1 1/2 Tbsp oil 

3Med vine ripe Tomatoes Chopped (mine were from my mom's garden 😊😋)

4 Med Baking potatoes boiled and peeled

1Tsp Cumin Seed

1Tbsp Coriander Powder

1Tbsp Fennel powder

1/2 Tsp Asafoetida powder

1Tbsp Degi Mirch Chili powder

1/2 Tsp Sugar

Salt to taste

2C warm water

DIRECTIONS

• Add Oil to the pot and let it heat up.
• Add the Cumin seeds and let them crackle.
• Add Asafoetida powder.  
• Add Chopped Tomatoes. 
• Add Chili powder and salt.  Stirring occasionally let the tomatoes cook for a few minutes.
• Add Coriander powder, Fennel powder, sugar.Let the tomatoes get soft a bit.
• Hand crush Potatoes and add them to the Pot with 2C warm water.
• Simmer the curry until the desired consistency.  ( I keep mine a bit on the watery side since the starches in the potatoes thickens it up as it cools).
• Enjoy it with hot poori, paratha or rice.  ** tastes even better the next day.
