2 potatoes, washed, peeled, cubed and boiled
1 teaspoon salt
water, as is required to make gravy
1/2 tablespoon coriander powder
1/2 teaspoon red chili powder
1 tablespoon basil oil
2 teaspoons cumin seeds
1 teaspoon mustard seeds
1 inch cinnamon stick

Steps:

Prepare a paste of the ingredients listed under 'Masala paste' and keep aside.
Heat oil in a pot.
Once hot, toss in mustard and cumin seeds. Allow to crackle. Fold in bay leaves, cloves, cinnamon stick and green cardamoms. Stir fry for a few seconds.
Add chopped onions and chopped ginger. Stir fry until browned and the raw smell is gone.
Once they stop crackling, add the prepared masala paste and stir well.
Cook till the oil separates from the masala.
Add the chopped fenugreek leaves and boiled potatoes.
Mix well, then fold in salt to taste.
Mix thoroughly and allow to cook, uncovered, till the fenugreek leaves are tender and well cooked.
Serve hot with rotis and/or white Basmati rice and yoghurt/raita on the side.
We enjoyed this with roasted pappadams.
