Why It Works
  • The baby potatoes are boiled and peeled before being browned in the skillet. This helps to create a crispy exterior while keeping the potatoes tender on the inside.
  • The onions are cooked until they are softened and golden brown. This adds flavor and sweetness to the dish.
  • The spices are added to the skillet and cooked for 1 minute, stirring constantly. This helps to release their flavor and aroma.
  • The yogurt sauce is made with plain yogurt, garlic, ginger, and spices. The yogurt helps to tenderize the potatoes and the spices add flavor.
  • The dish is simmered for 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the sauce has thickened. This allows the flavors to meld and develop.
