Ingredients

1 onion
4 cloves garlic
1 inch fresh ginger
1/4 cup cashews
1 tsp ground coriander seeds
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp red chili powder
1/4 tsp turmeric
1/4 tsp cardamom
1/8 tsp ground cloves
1 tbsp ghee or oil
1 tomato
1/2 cup coconut milk
1 bay leaf
1/2 tsp salt
2 cup waxy potato

Steps

Chop the onion, garlic, ginger, tomato, cashews, and potatoes into small pieces.
Heat the ghee or oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat, then cook the onion for 5 minutes.
Add the garlic, ginger, coriander, cumin, cinnamon, chili powder, turmeric, cardamom, and cloves, then stir for 1 minute.
Add the tomato and cashews, then cook for 4 minutes until softened.
Stir in the coconut milk, bay leaf, salt, potatoes, and enough water to nearly cover the potatoes.
Cover and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and the sauce thickens.
Remove the bay leaf and cook uncovered for 2 minutes before serving.
