In these spices add the cut pieces of potato, put fried gram flour and red chilli powder then fry for 2 minutes. Now pour 1 glass(300 grams) of water and salt, stir with a spoon and close the lid of the cooker. After 1 whistle lower the flame and let the vegetables cook for 2 minutes. Turn off gas.
Once all the pressure escapes from the cooker open it's lid. Now put Garam masala and mix with the vegetables properly. Your Aloo curry is ready.
Take out Aloo curry in a bowl. Garnish with green coriander(to garnish the curry, put 1 tbsp oil and heat. Put some Jeera, 2 pinch red chilli powder in the oil and pour this Tadka on the curry.
