Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Halve the baby potatoes. Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering.

  2. Step 2

    Add diced onion and cook, stirring often, until soft and just starting to brown, ~4 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Stir in ginger-garlic paste and spice blend; cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

  4. Step 4

    Add crushed tomatoes and yogurt, stirring until smooth. Add potatoes and 0.5 tsp salt.

  5. Step 5

    Cover, reduce heat to medium, and simmer until potatoes are fork-tender, 10–12 minutes.

  6. Step 6

    Uncover, stir gently, and taste for salt and spice. Serve hot with naan or rice.
