INGRDS
1 packet nutri nuggets(follow the instructions on the packet...soak the nuggets in hot water for at least half hour)

2 big onions chopped fine
2 big tomatoes chopped fine
a little cilantro chopped fine(about 3 tablespoons)
1 whole pod of garlic chopped fine
2 green chillies chopped fine
1 coconut grated.or 1 tetrapack of coconut milk(its not available here..otherwise i always use the tetra pack)
for the dry masala
1 tablespoon of dhania (corriander) seeds
1 teaspoon of jeera(cumin) seeds
2 teaspoons of peppercorn(black)
6 dried red chillies
1 inch pc of cinnamon
4-5 cloves
grind this together.(.after dry roasting these for a few mins)
METHOD
1.Heat about a tablespoon of oil in a heavy bottomed pan(kadhai)..fry the garlic and green chilli till golden brown.......add the onions ..fry these till golden brown.
2. Add the tomatoes,half the cilantro,the salt and dry masala.....cook till the oil comes out of the masala,now add the nuggets and the potatoes...and enough water to soak all of this...about 1 1/2 cups(sorry forgot to measure this!)...cover with a tight fitting lid.
3.In an ideal world I would have just opened the tetra pack and poured the coconut milk into the curry..once the potatoes are cooked through........however I had to put the grated coconut in the blender..add some hot water and blend away.....then I'm afraid I don't believe in straining and taking out the coconut milk...I simply dunk the whole thing in the gravy........its ok people..its still tasty..and think of all the health benefits..of consuming the whole coconut!
4.Garnish with some more chopped cilantro...serve hot with boiled basmati rice.
5.The same gravy can be used to make egg curry(just put boiled eggs in when the gravy is done).....or chicken curry.The gravy base is really versatile.........and tastes real good.
