Peel the potatoes, the skin will come off easily.
  2. Heat 2 teaspoons mustard oil in a pan (make sure mustard oil is well heated before adding anything to it else it will have the raw taste). Once hot,  add ginger, garlic and green chili and cook for 1 minute. - - Then add the onions and cashews and cook for 3 minutes until onions soften. - - Remove pan from heat, transfer onion mixture to a blender and blend to a fine paste. Set it aside.
  3. Now heat 2 tbspof mustard oil in a kadai/work on medium heat (again make sure mustard oil is really hot before you add anything to it else it will have the raw smell). Add the boiled potatoes and fry them until golden brown from both sides. - - Once golden brown from both sides, remove the fried potatoes on a plate. Once they cool down a little, prick them again with toothpick. - - To the same oil, now add 1 teaspoon cumin seeds. Saute few seconds and then add 1/2 teaspoon hing.
  4. Then add 1 teaspoon kashmiri red chili powder and fry for few seconds so that it gets a nice red color. - - Add the prepared onion-cashew paste and mix well. Cook for 2 mins
  5. Then add the fried potatoes to the kadai.  Mix well and add 1/4 cup water. Cover with a lid tightly and "dum" cook for 5 to 6 minutes on low heat. - - Then add sugar, garam masala, kasuri methi.
