Stir in the turmeric powder and red chili powder, ensuring the spices do not burn.

Add the boiled potato chunks and toss them well to coat evenly with the aromatic oil and spices.
5
Pour in the tamarind pulp and add the jaggery powder along with salt to taste.
6
Simmer the mixture on medium heat for about 15 minutes until the sauce thickens into a glossy, sweet, and tangy glaze.
