Potato Curry with Yogurt Gravy
March 6th, 2007 filed under Subji (Vegetables)This recipe consists of potatoes combined with a creamy yogurt gravy. Tastes great with puris.
Serves 4.
Ingredients:
- 2 large boiled potatoes
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
- Pinch of hing (asafetida)
- 2 teaspoons besan (gram flour)
- 1 bay leaf
- 4 tablespoons yogurt
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1 teaspoon finely chopped green chilies
- 1 tablespoon coriander powder
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 chopped cilantro
- 1 1/2 cups of water
Method
Boil 2 large potatoes. Peel and cut them in bite size pieces.
Mix the yogurt, ginger, green chilies, turmeric powder, coriander powder and paprika and blend into a paste.
In a heavy saucepan, heat the oil. Test the heat by adding one cumin seed to the oil. If the cumin seed cracks right away, the oil is ready.
When the oil is ready, add the hing and cumin seeds. After the cumin seeds crack, add the bay leaf and besan (gram flour). Stir for about half a minute until the besan (gram flour) is golden-brown. Now add the yogurt paste and stir-fry for about 2 minutes on medium heat until the paste starts leaving the oil from the sides.
Add about one cup of water. After the gravy boils, let it cook on low-medium heat for 4 to 5 minutes. Add the potatoes. Let it cook for few minutes until the gravy is to your desired thickness. Add the cilantro and salt and continue to cook for a few minutes. Serve with any kind of bread.
Suggestions
You can use a variety of vegetables, such as green peas, carrots, and cauliflowers, as a substitute for the potatoes. The recipe for the gravy remains the same.

Excellent recipe!… I modified it a wee bit by adding 2 tablespoons of heavy cream just before turning off the stove. Very tasty and healthy…..

Hello Sindhu, when ever you are cooking with yogurt salt should be added in the end to prevent the yogurt to break and need to stir the gravey frequently till it comes to boil, let me know if it still happend.

Hi Manjula,
My yogurt always breaks when I make this gravy, inspite of adding the besan.Can you suggest something to prevent this?
Thanks & Regards

This is a wonderful recipe and video, Manjula! I made it at home today, and it was absolutely delicious. This is the first time I have tried your recipes, but I look forward to many more wonderful dishes.
Also, I found everything I needed at Whole Foods (including hing/asofoetida), except gram flour, which I will get at my local Indian market for next time.

Thank you Manjula,
Your recipes are excellent - the results are like my mothers cooking! I grew up in India but emigrated many years ago. Although I am very happy with my life, I have always missed genuine and simple Indian food. Your recipes have gone some way in addressing this problem. Keep up the good work!

Hi Manjula,
What a lovely video! I love Indian cooking but have always been too intimidated to try it at home. I’m looking forward to trying this and also your recipe for Bhindi Masala. I was actually first introduced to okra while living in Jaipur — my host family would serve it with Roti for breakfast some days. I have loved it ever since. –Jen
