Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Peel and chop the potatoes into bite-sized cubes. Finely chop the onion, tomato, garlic, and ginger. Soak the red chilies in warm water for 15 minutes to soften them, then drain.

  2. 2

    Make the Spice Paste

    In a blender, combine the softened red chilies, garlic, ginger, mustard seeds, cumin seeds, turmeric powder, coriander powder, black peppercorns, and cloves. Blend into a smooth paste, adding a little water if necessary.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Cook the Onions

    In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent and golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 4

    Add the Spice Paste

    Add the prepared spice paste to the onions and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

  3. 5

    Add Tomatoes and Potatoes

    Stir in the chopped tomatoes and cook until they soften. Then, add the cubed potatoes and mix well.

  4. 6

    Add Coconut Vinegar and Simmer

    Pour in the coconut vinegar and season with salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
