Add oil!. Heat oil to medium
Always add cooking oil to cold pan and then heat!.

This is the time to add whole spice seeds from the recipe such as cumin, and Fenugreek!.
4!. Add onions, Salt, and Red Crushed peppers!. Sauté till the onions become translucent and the edges start to turn brown!. Don't let the onions burn or become too brown!. Caramelized or brown onions will take away from the flavor of curry!.
Always add onions when the oil is hot!.
Always add salt with onions, whenever the onions are to be sautéed!.
Salt draws water from onions!.
5!. Add Curry powder!. Sauté for a couple minutes!.
6!. Add the main vegetables or meats!. We will add the potatoes!. We will stir and fry again so that the potatoes are coated with spices
7!. Add 2 Tablespoons of water!. Bring to a boil!. Cover with the lid!. Turn down heat!. Cook till potatoes are tender about five minutes!. Add more water and cook longer if the potatoes are not yet tender!.
Step 3 Simmer and rest
Add Amchoor, Garam Masala and Cilantro and stir!. Cover and cook two minutes!. Shut off heat!. Let it rest 10 minutes!. The cilantro will get wilted and wrapped around the potatoes adding color!.

I would suggest that you buy a ready made curry paste- green or red (green is spicier)!. Saute the curry paste in a little oil and then whisk in a can of coconut milk and let it simmer for at least ten minutes!. You can also add a little sugar and fish sauce!. All of these ingredients should be available at a regular grocery store, but you will certainly find them in an asian foods store too!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
