- Sprinkle turmeric, chilli powder, coriander powder and give a quick stir. Add in whisked curd and turn the heat to high and stir continuously till the curd gets a boil. Now cook the masala till oil oozes and comes to surface.
- Drain water from potatoes and add them to the masala along with some salt. Cook them for 5minutes and you may add some extra green chillies at this stage if you want to spice it up a bit. Lower the heat and cover and cook the potatoes for 15mins.
