Oil: 3-4 tsp

Procedure

Step 1: Boil Potatoes

Meanwhile, blend the poppy seeds, cashews, and coconut into a smooth paste by adding a little water. Keep this paste aside for later use.

Step 2: Prepare Potatoes and Vegetables

Peel the boiled potatoes and cut them into bite-sized pieces. Next, chop the tomatoes, slice the onions, and slit the green chillies.

Step 3: Sauté Spices

Heat 3-4 tsp of oil in a pan over medium heat. Add cloves, cardamom, and cinnamon, and sauté them for about 1 minute on high flame until they release their aroma.

Step 4: Add Onions and Green Chillies

Add the sliced onions and green chillies to the pan. Fry them for about 3 minutes until the onions become translucent and slightly golden.

Step 5: Incorporate Ginger-Garlic Paste

Add 2 tsp of ginger-garlic paste to the pan and mix well. Fry the mixture for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the raw aroma to disappear.

Step 6: Add Tomato Pieces

Add the chopped tomato pieces to the pan and mix thoroughly. Cook until the tomatoes soften and blend well with the other ingredients.

Step 7: Season the Curry

Add 2 tsp of salt and 1 tsp of turmeric powder to the mixture. Mix thoroughly and let it cook for 5 minutes on medium flame with the pan covered.

Step 8: Check for Tomato Cooked

If oil starts to separate and rise to the surface of the pan, it indicates that the tomatoes are fully cooked.

Step 9: Add Potato Pieces

Add the boiled and chopped potato pieces to the curry. Mix them thoroughly to ensure they are well-coated with the spices and tomato mixture.

Step 10: Add Red Chilli Powder

Add 2 tsp of red chilli powder to the curry. Mix thoroughly and let it cook for 2 minutes on medium flame with the pan covered.

Step 11: Add Water and Simmer

Add 500ml of water to the curry and cover the pan. Cook until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency on medium flame.

Step 12: Final Touches

Add the chopped coriander leaves, garam masala, and the prepared paste of poppy seeds, cardamom, and cinnamon to the curry. Mix well to incorporate all the flavors.

Let the curry cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on medium flame until it thickens further to the desired gravy consistency.

Note: If desired, you can also add 2-3 tsp of fresh curd (Meegada Perugu) and mix it for 1 minute before turning off the flame.
