METHOD:
1.Wash and peel the potatoes and cut them into medium sized cubes.Keep the potato cubes in water just to prevent it from oxidization.
2.Cut the onion into small pieces.
3.Split the green chilies into two.I have split them into two but you can cut them into small pieces also.I f you don’t want the curry to be too spicy you can leave them as whole.
4.Now put all the ingredients into a pressure cooker.Add enough water.Do not add too much water.Make sure the water level is just 1 cm above the ingredients.
5.Add in all the spice powders to it along with little salt.Cook this in medium heat until you hear two whistles.
6.when you hear two whistles switch off the stove.Wait for few minutes.Do not open the lid of the pressure cooker until all the pressure inside the cooker is cool down completely.When you lift the whistle of the pressure cooker a little and if there is pressure coming out that means still there is pressure inside.
7.When the pressure is completely gone open the lid .Give it a good stir so that the potato is mashed well.If you wish you can leave few pieces as it is.
8.If the curry is too thick you can add warm water .Check the salt and add more if needed.
TEMPERING:
Heat oil in a thick bottomed pan.When the oil is hot add in the mustard seeds into it.When the mustard seeds crackles add in the curry leaves.Leave it for 15 to 20 seconds and switch off the stove.
Add this into the curry and bring it to boil and switch off the stove.
The curry is ready to serve.
NOTE:You can add three cloves of garlic along with the vegetables when you cook them.A simple curry but comes in handy when we are really busy.
