Steps

  1. Boil the potato in salted water until tender, then peel and mash it.
  2. In a pan, heat the oil over medium heat and add cumin seeds. Let them sizzle.
  3. Add the chopped onion, garlic, and ginger to the pan, sautéing until the onion turns translucent.
  4. Stir in the chopped tomato, turmeric, red chili powder, and salt. Cook until the tomatoes soften.
  5. Add the mashed potato to the pan and mix well, cooking for 2-3 minutes to combine flavors.
  6. Garnish with fresh coriander and serve warm.

Tips for Spicy Garlic Tomato Potato Mash

  • A few small potato pieces give the mash a pleasantly rustic texture; mash more thoroughly for a smoother result.
  • The finished mixture should look cohesive and moist, not watery; excess liquid from especially juicy tomatoes can make it loose.
  • Have the ingredients chopped and measured before cooking; the quick pan portion leaves little time to prepare them once started.
