- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tsp whole cumin seeds
- 1 tsp mustard seeds
- 1 dried red chili optional
- a few curry leaves optional
- 1 medium onion sliced
- 1 pound diced potatoes about 3 medium potatoes
- ¾ cup water
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp turmeric powder
- ½ tsp red chili powder
Slice up the onions and dice the potatoes before starting, this goes quick.
Make a vaghaar by heating the vegetable oil in the pressure cooker. It is hot enough when you add a few mustard seeds and they pop. Add all of the mustard and cumin seeds and the red chili and curry leaves if you are using them.
When the vaghaar becomes toasty and fragrant, add potatoes, onions, water, turmeric, salt and red chili powder.
Boil under pressure for 10 minutes (lower the heat and start the timer when the pressure cooker achieves pressure).
