Guys, try this. It is too simple. Your moms probably never told you how easy it was.

Boil 4-5 medium potatoes for about 25 mins. Drain and peel as soon as they are cool enough to hold. Mash in a bowl with a ladle or fingers.

Chop 2 medium onions. Add a few mustard seeds to two tablespoons of oil and heat until the seeds burst. Stir fry the onions. Dice one medium tomato and add to the onions with small amount of water. Add turmeric, cumin seed powder, coriander seed powder, garam masala and asafoetida to taste. Stir until gravy has a fine consistency.

Add mashed potato and some water to make it easy to stir. Keep stirring until all ingredients are well-mixed. Add a finely chopped red chilli and one teaspoon of salt. Stir for five minutes.

Cook until all the water is gone. Serve with chapatis.
