Rinse the potatoes thoroughly under water and chop in to cubes. Cook them till soft in enough water along with salt. Keep aside for later use.

Peel off the onion and chop in to cube sized pieces. Next heat a pan with 2 teaspoon of oil, cinnamon and cloves.

Add in red chillies, chopped onion and saute till the onion turn translucent. When the onions are done include grated coconut and chopped coriander leaves. Saute for a while and switch off. After cooling take these ingredients in a mixer.

Grind everything together to fine puree. Heat the pan again with oil, cumin and curry leaves. Saute till the curry leaves wilt, then include ground puree.

Cook it for couple of minutes with little salt. You can include little water too at this stage, then include cooked potatoes and combine everything well. Let the potatoes absorb spices. Finally squeeze some lemon juice.

Easy and quick potato semi gravy is ready to serve with chapati or roti.

Do not cook the potatoes till very soft. Let them have the crunch.

The water to grind the spices should be minimum. Otherwise the semi-gravy turns gravy.
