Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs baby potatoes (or red potatoes, halved)
  • ½ cup plain yogurt
  • 1 can (14 oz) crushed tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp ginger-garlic paste
  • 1.5 tsp kashmiri chili powder
  • 1 tsp fennel seeds
  • ½ cup coconut milk or heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp ghee or neutral oil

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat ghee in a pressure cooker over medium. Toast fennel seeds 30 seconds until fragrant, then add ginger-garlic paste.

  2. 2

    Cook paste for 1 minute stirring constantly. Add kashmiri chili powder, stir for 15 seconds until it coats the oil.

  3. 3

    Stir in yogurt, then crushed tomatoes. Add potatoes and coconut milk. Stir well to combine.

  4. 4

    Close the lid, bring to high pressure. Cook for 8 minutes on high pressure, then quick-release the steam.

  5. 5

    Open carefully. Potatoes should be fork-tender and gravy silky. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  6. 6

    Serve hot in bowls, spooning gravy over potatoes. Pair with basmati rice or warm naan.
