• Stir to mix taking care that the spices do not burn.
• Add finely chopped ginger and sauté for a half a minute on low heat.
• Add chopped tomatoes and stir.
• On medium-low heat sauté the tomatoes till they soften and you see oil releasing from the sides.
• Add the boiled and crumbled potatoes and mix well. Sauté for a minute.
• Add water and stir again. You can adjust the consistency as you want by adding less or more water.
• Add salt as required and dry mango powder.
