These are perfect delights I tried from Priya.I made no changes to the recipes other than adapting the spices as per my taste and quantities needed.

Within an hour everything was over and after posting this I am off to wash the dishes.

Chop the potatoes and keep aside. Cut the tomatoes into pieces and grind them in a mixer. I went for chunky puree and you can also used crushed tomatoes. If you do not have fennel powder,dry roast the fennel seeds and powder them.



Heat oil.Add in the whole spices and sizzle. Add in chopped onions and ginger garlic paste and let them cook till raw smell goes. Add in the fennel powder,chilli powder,cumin powder and little salt and saute for a few secnds till the raw smell disappear. Add in coriander powder,turmeric powder and potato cubes,mix well ,add little water needed to cook the potatoes and let them cook. Halfway through,add the pureed/crushed tomatoes and continue cooking till the potatoes are done. Check for salt and add in the coconut milk and heat through to get the thickness you want. Serve hot with pulao, rotis or other breads.

Each dish was great. The two dishes use almost the same spice combo and are coconut milk based and I never tink twice when I see a spud dish. I also served onion raitha with the rice ,but let me tell you the pulao-kurma combo is unbeatable. Hearty Thanks for the keeper recipes Priya. The pulao and kurma are off to  PJ's T&T:Priyas Easy n Tasty Recipes, an event by Lakshmi. Dig in :P
