Baby potato in tomato gravy


I got 1/2 kg of baby potatoes and a great recipe from my tattered blue recipe book using boiled and cubed whole potatoes. 
I have used the baby potatoes in that gravy!

Ingredients:
Baby potato - 1/2 kg
Onion - 2 large
Garlic - 3 pods
Ginger - 2 inch
Tomato - 5 large
Salt
Turmeric powder - 1 tsp
Chilli powder - 1 tbsp
Garam masala powder - 1/2 tsp
Oil - 2 tbsp
Coriander leaf for garnish

Chop up the onion, garlic and ginger.
Don't bother making it too small / beautiful / perfect.

Start boiling the washed potato in salted water and cook till a knife slides in easily.

Microwave on high the quartered tomato in 1 cup water for 2 minutes. Stir and m/w again for 2 more minutes.

Heat 1 tbsp oil and fry the onion, garlic and ginger until the onion turns translucent.

Add the turmeric powder, chilli powder and garam masala. Reduce flame and fry stirring  constantly for 1 minute. Turn off flame and continue stirring for 1 more minute or the masala might burn.


Now keep aside the boiled potato, masala onion and microwaved tomato for cooling.

After everything has cooled, first grind the onion masala into a paste. Fry it in the same pan with 1 tbsp oil.

After 5 minutes, add the puréed boiled tomatoes.

Mix well. Add salt and cook for 10-15 minutes on a low flame. If you increase flame, the gravy splutters.
Add in the peeled potatoes.

Mix well, without breaking up the whole potatoes. Cook covered on low flame for a further 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Serve hot garnished with coriander leaf.
