Heat about 2 tbs oil or ghee, add fenugreek and onions and fry until onions are brown. Add ginger and garlic, stir well and cook for 2-3 mins, then add turmeric, tomato puree, chilli powder and salt. Mix well and stir in the potatoes. Cook gently until the potatoes are heated through. -- Jane Willis
