Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 green chile pepper, chopped
• 1 pinch asafoetida powder
• 2 medium onions, coarsely chopped
• 1 teaspoon black mustard seeds
• 4 teaspoons ground turmeric
• 4 medium potatoes, peeled
• 1 (3/4 inch thick) slice ginger, peeled
• 0.25 cup vegetable oil
• 1.25 cups water, divided

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and let cool enough to handle, about 10 minutes. Dice into 3/4-inch pieces.

Step 2

Cut ginger into 4 pieces and place in a food processor. Add green chile and 1/4 cup water; process into a grainy paste.

Step 3

Heat oil in a pot over medium heat. Sprinkle in asafoetida, then mustard seeds. When mustard seeds pop, put in onions, reduce heat to medium-low, and saute until translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Add paste from blender and turmeric; cook for 1 minute.

Step 4

Add diced potatoes, remaining 1 cup water, and salt. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 5 minutes. Lift cover and break potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes with a slotted spoon. Cover and cook until sauce thickens, about 3 minutes more.
