Ingredients
- 2 large yukon gold potatoes diced (about 2 ½ cups)
- 1 tablespoon ghee
- 1 medium onion diced
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger paste
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds toasted and ground
- 1 teaspoon coriander toasted and ground
- ½ teaspoon mustard seeds toasted and ground

Instructions
- Heat the ghee in a large skillet or dutch oven over medium heat.
- Add the onion, garlic and ginger. Cook for 3-5 minutes until softened and starting to brown lightly.
- Add the spices and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring often so they don't burn.

- Add the broth, potatoes and coconut milk and bring to a simmer. Cook for 25 minutes, until potatoes can be easily pierced with a fork.
- Remove from heat and serve with chopped cilantro, rice and naan.
Notes
- Cut the potatoes in 1 inch cubes for the best results. They will cook quicker this way.
- Use full fat coconut milk or coconut cream. I do not recommend using light coconut milk.
- Fresh, whole spices are highly recommended as they will improve the flavor of the dish. Scroll to the top of the post to see my recommendation for spices.
- Use a high sided skillet so you can fit all the ingredients in easily.
- Add more or less cayenne pepper depending on your spice preference. The recipe as is is mildly spicy.
