2-3 tablespoons shredded coconut
small piece of ginger
4-5 green chilies
2-3 cardamom pods
1/2 cup yogurt

Directions:

Start by boiling the small potatoes. After removing them from the water, peel them and
prick the potatoes with a fork.  Next, fry the potatoes in hot oil till they turn slightly brown,
then remove them and drain and set aside for later.

Next, heat the 2 tablespoons of cooking oil or ghee in a shallow pan and fry the chopped onions
until a light brown. Now, in a food processor, grind the coconut, poppy seeds, cardamom pods,
ginger and green chilies to a thick paste. After making the paste, add it to the fried onions in the
pan. Fry till the oil separates. Next, add the chili powder, cumin powder and coriander powder
and stir for the next 5 minutes while in the pan.

Now, add the yogurt, salt and the fried potatoes to the onion mixture.  Add enough water to
cover the potatoes and simmer till the gravy is thick, which will be around 10 minutes.
Next, add the garam masala powder and mix well. Garnish with the chopped coriander leaves.
