Method

For the Potato Curry

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Peel and dice the potatoes into bite-sized cubes. Finely chop the onion, garlic, and ginger. Chop the tomato and slit the green chili.

  2. 2

    Cook the Onions

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

  3. 3

    Add Garlic and Ginger

    Stir in the minced garlic and ginger, cooking for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.

  4. 4

    Mix in Spices

    Add the curry powder, turmeric powder, and salt. Stir well to coat the onion mixture with the spices.

  5. 5

    Add Potatoes and Tomato

    Add the diced potatoes and chopped tomato to the pot. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.

  6. 6

    Add Coconut Milk

    Pour in the coconut milk and add the green chili. Mix everything together, ensuring the potatoes are covered in the sauce.

  7. 7

    Simmer the Curry

    Cover the pot and let the curry simmer for 20-25 minutes until the potatoes are tender, stirring occasionally.

  8. 8

    Finish with Cilantro

    Once the potatoes are cooked, stir in the chopped cilantro and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Remove from heat.

For the Basmati Rice

  1. 9

    Rinse the Rice

    In a bowl, rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and prevents stickiness.

  2. 10

    Cook the Rice

    In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, water, and salt. Bring to a boil over high heat.

  3. 11

    Simmer the Rice

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes until all the water is absorbed.

  4. 12

    Fluff the Rice

    Remove the saucepan from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Then, fluff the rice with a fork and stir in the ghee or butter.
