Ingredients:

• Potatoes: 4 medium, peeled and cut into bite-sized cubes
• Oil: 2-3 tablespoons (vegetable or canola oil)
• Onion: 1 medium, finely chopped
• Garlic: 3-4 cloves, minced
• Ginger: 1-inch piece, minced
• Bell Peppers: 1-2 (red or green), chopped
• Tomatoes: 2 medium, finely chopped or 1 cup tomato puree
• Green Chilies: 1-2, slit or chopped (adjust to taste)
• Soy Sauce: 2 tablespoons
• Chili Sauce: 2 tablespoons
• Tomato Ketchup: 2 tablespoons
• Vinegar: 1 tablespoon (optional)
• Coriander Powder: 1 teaspoon
• Cumin Powder: 1 teaspoon
• Red Chili Powder: 1 teaspoon (adjust to taste)
• Turmeric Powder: 1/2 teaspoon
• Garam Masala: 1/2 teaspoon
• Salt: to taste
• Black Pepper: 1/2 teaspoon
• Spring Onions or Fresh Coriander: for garnish

Instructions:

1. Boil the Potatoes:

• Place the potato cubes in a pot, cover with water, and add a pinch of salt.
• Bring to a boil and cook until potatoes are tender (about 10 minutes). Drain and set aside.

1. Prepare the Sauce:

• Heat oil in a large pan or wok over medium heat.
• Add finely chopped onions and sauté until they turn golden brown.
• Add minced garlic and ginger, and sauté for another minute.

1. Add Vegetables:

• Add the chopped bell peppers and green chilies. Sauté for a couple of minutes.

1. Add Tomatoes:

• Stir in the chopped tomatoes or tomato puree. Cook until the tomatoes break down and the oil starts to separate from the mixture.

1. Add Spices:

• Mix in coriander powder, cumin powder, red chili powder, turmeric powder, and salt.
• Cook for another 2 minutes until the spices are well-blended with the tomato mixture.

1. Combine Potatoes:

• Add the boiled potatoes to the pan. Stir gently to coat the potatoes with the sauce.

1. Add Sauces:

• Stir in soy sauce, chili sauce, and ketchup. Mix well to ensure all the potatoes are coated with the sauces.

1. Simmer:

• Let the mixture simmer for a few minutes, allowing the potatoes to absorb the flavors. If the mixture seems dry, add a little water.

1. Final Touches:

• Sprinkle garam masala and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
• Cook for an additional 2 minutes, then remove from heat.

1. Garnish and Serve:
   • Garnish with chopped spring onions or fresh coriander.
   • Serve hot with steamed rice, naan, or as a side dish.
