Step 1
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add whole spices; let them crackle and darken slightly, about 60 seconds.
Step 2
Add ginger-garlic paste and kashmiri chili powder. Stir constantly until fragrant, about 30 seconds—don't let it burn.
Step 3
Add potatoes and stir to coat with the spice mixture, about 1 minute. Pour in crushed tomatoes and 0.5 cup water.
Step 4
Bring to a simmer, then cover and cook until potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes. Stir occasionally.
Step 5
Remove from heat and stir in cream. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with fresh cilantro if you have it.
Step 6
Serve hot with rice, naan, or Indian bread.
