Hmmm,a recipe without knowing whether you're a veggie or not.On the safe side,here's an approximate recipe for a quick potato curry. If ur a first time cook,make sure all the ingredients are gathered before u start,to make it easier.

Ingredients:

Cooking Oil - 2 1/2 Tbsps
mustard seeds 1 tsp (if u hav them,they enhance flavor,if u dont its ok)
2 onions (sliced)
1 clove garlic( sliced)
2 green chillies (sliced)
2 large potatoes (small cubes)
Garam masala 1/2 tsp
Turmeric powder - a pinch (optional,only if u insist on a yellow colored dish)
Chilli powder - slightly more than a pinch( again optional)
Salt - to taste
Water - According to reqmt.

Preparation:

1. Heat oil in a pan.
2.Once oil is sufficiently hot, add mustard seeds.[Optional] (to check if oil has reached required heat,add a couple of mustard seeds or a piece of garlic,the mustard seeds should splutter immediately or the garlic shud sizzle)
3.Add onions,garlic,chilles and saute till onions become light golden
4. Add masalas and saute for a minute,

Drain on kitchen paper, and serve garnished with more chopped coriander or mint, some onion rings and a slice of lemon, with a side dish of plain yogurt if liked, and a bowl of rice, or some flat breads.
