Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat 3 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering. Add potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and nearly tender, about 8–10 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Stir in ginger-garlic paste and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add tomato paste and Kashmiri chili powder, stirring to coat.

  3. Step 3

    Pour in cream and 0.5 cup water. Add sliced green chilies, salt, and a pinch of black pepper. Simmer until potatoes are tender and sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Taste and adjust salt and spice. Serve hot with naan or basmati rice.
