Add diluted spice powders and stir on a low heat for 1 minute until well combined with onion and water dries up.

Add potato, tomato and chopped coriander leaves. Cover pressure cook lid and pressure cook for 10 minutes until done / potatoes well cooked (reduce the high heat after 3 quick whistles and cook again on a medium heat for 5 minutes). Do not open pressure cooker lid. Allow the cooker to cool it naturally. Open the lid. If you’re fine with thin potato gravy, serve directly with chopped coriander leaves topping. For thick potato gravy – remove pressure cooker lid. Gently mash cooked potatoes with back side of the steel ladle. Cover with another lid and cook on a medium heat for 5 – 7 minutes until gravy thickens. Serve with rotis / puri ..
