Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat ghee in a pressure cooker over medium. Toast fennel seeds 30 seconds until fragrant, then add ginger-garlic paste.

  2. Step 2

    Cook paste for 1 minute stirring constantly. Add kashmiri chili powder, stir for 15 seconds until it coats the oil.

  3. Step 3

    Stir in yogurt, then crushed tomatoes. Add potatoes and coconut milk. Stir well to combine.

  4. Step 4

    Close the lid, bring to high pressure. Cook for 8 minutes on high pressure, then quick-release the steam.

  5. Step 5

    Open carefully. Potatoes should be fork-tender and gravy silky. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  6. Step 6

    Serve hot in bowls, spooning gravy over potatoes. Pair with basmati rice or warm naan.
