Now, let’s get into what you’ll need to whip this up:
Ingredients:
- 4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 green chilies, slit (adjust based on your spice level)
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- 2 tablespoons oil or ghee
- 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
- Salt, to taste
- Curry leaves (optional, for garnish)
- Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:
- In a large pot, heat the oil or ghee over medium heat. Once it’s hot, add the mustard seeds and let them pop for a few seconds.
- Next, throw in the chopped onions and sauté them until they’re translucent and golden brown. This step is key, y’all! It adds a serious depth of flavor.
- Add the minced ginger and slit green chilies, and stir for another minute. You want that goodness to infuse the oil.
- Now, toss in the diced potatoes and mix everything together. Sauté them for about 5 minutes, letting them soak up all those flavors.
- Pour in the coconut milk and add salt to taste. Bring this mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for around 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
- If using curry leaves, toss those in just a few minutes before you’re ready to serve. They add a lovely aroma that takes this dish to the next level.
- Serve your Ishtu hot, garnished with fresh cilantro. Get ready to enjoy a bowl of creamy, dreamy goodness!
