2
Add mustard seeds, cumin seeds, fenugreek seeds, and dried red chillies, letting them splutter.
3
Stir in the turmeric powder and red chilli powder, ensuring the spices do not burn.
4
Add the boiled cubed potatoes and toss them well to coat with the aromatic oil and spices.
5
Pour in the tamarind pulp along with a half cup of water and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
6
Stir in the jaggery powder and salt, simmering until the gravy thickens to a glossy, coat-the-back-of-a-spoon consistency.

Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves and serve piping hot alongside freshly steamed warm Pahadi Sidu.
