Rustic Tomato Potato Hash

Difficulty: Low

Time: 40 min

Cost: Low ($)

Ingredients

Potatoes 2 medium (about 1 lb)

Tomatoes 2 medium (about 1 cup chopped)

Onion 1 medium

Garlic 2 cloves

Fresh Ginger 1-inch piece

Green Chili 1 (optional)

Vegetable Oil 2 tablespoons

Cumin Seeds 1 teaspoon

Turmeric Powder 1/2 teaspoon

Coriander Powder 1 teaspoon

Red Chili Powder 1/2 teaspoon (adjust to taste)

Garam Masala 1/2 teaspoon

Salt to taste

Fresh Cilantro 2 tablespoons, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Prepare your vegetables: Wash and peel potatoes, then dice them into 1-inch cubes. Chop tomatoes into similar-sized pieces. Finely chop the onion. Mince the garlic and grate or finely mince the fresh ginger. If using, finely chop the green chili.

Heat the oil: In a large pan or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until shimmering.

Temper spices: Add the cumin seeds to the hot oil and let them splutter for about 30 seconds.

Sauté aromatics: Add the chopped onion and sauté, stirring occasionally, until it becomes translucent and softened, about 5-7 minutes. Then, add the minced garlic, ginger, and green chili (if using), and sauté for another minute until fragrant.

Add dry spices: Stir in the turmeric powder, coriander powder, and red chili powder. Cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly to prevent burning. If the spices start to stick, add a tiny splash of water.

Cook tomatoes: Add the chopped tomatoes and a pinch of salt to the pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes soften and begin to break down, forming a rustic sauce, about 8-10 minutes.

Add potatoes and simmer: Stir in the diced potatoes, ensuring they are well coated with the tomato-spice mixture. Add about 1 cup of water to the pan. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Finish and season: Remove the lid from the pan. Stir in the garam masala. If the dish is too watery, cook uncovered for a few more minutes to allow some liquid to evaporate. Taste and adjust salt if necessary.

Garnish and serve: Garnish generously with fresh chopped cilantro just before serving.
