I was pretty excited about making this recipe, but it ended up a semi-disaster. I'm not totally experienced with cooking with potatoes, so it might be my fault that I couldn't get my potatoes to cook in the wok. I ended up having to dump them into a microwave-safe bowl and nuke them until they were tender enough to finish cooking in the wok. I added extra seasoning as well. Maybe it was my inexperience with potato recipes, but this was very time consuming. I made this for a lunch with my then boyfriend, and he spent about an hour and a half in my living room watching Scrubs while I cursed at potatoes. Might make this again, but I'll partially cook the potatoes before adding them to the wok.

This recipe is easy and delicious. I usually don't add the cilantro and often double the garlic.

I tripled or quadrupled the spices at least otherwise this just tasted like tomatoes. After simmering for a while this tasted like an authentic indian dish. We scooped it up with naan bead and it was yummy!

This tasted pretty good at first, but quickly got old. It's essential to partly cook the potatoes first. Through doing this there's no need to add extra tomato puree, as this just made the meal too soupy. With those couple of changes I think this would make an average side dish, but nothing spectacular.

I hate to give a medium review, but I really only kind of liked this dish, just personal preference. It was spicy but didn't have much flavor, sadly. My family didn't like it very much either, although we did all agree that it tasted better with a little nonfat yogurt with orange peel.

Good, but I'm going to use only three potatoes next time. That's just my taste though.

Very straightforward to make and a big success with my husband (which surprised me!). I couldn't find ginger garlic paste, so I just used diced garlic instead, and this worked fine. I added about 1/2 cup more tomato paste.

very good, but lacks a bit of flavor. I added more of every spice to make it more tasty. it also needed more salt. It became soo thick and heavy, so the next day, I mixed it in with cooked pasta, and added some of the pasta water to loosen it up a bit. Now the kids like it more. All in all, it's good if we make the right modifications.

Not really authentic-tasting but very good. I liked the simplicity of this budget recipe.

It's really pretty good. We liked it very much. I think that I could serve this to my Indian in-laws and feel proud! :)

I thought it was good, but it really needing some spicing up. Only 1 1/2 tsp of garam masala? I probably used at least 2 TBS just in order to taste it. I used chopped garlic and ginger, worked fine. I pre-cooked the potatoes in a large pot with garlic, salt and pepper. And sauteed the onions/garlic separately, then mixed together when the potatoes were about done (about 20 mins). I also used a small can of tomato paste, and topped it off with some V8 juice (about 2 cups)... it made it nice and creamy. Added fresh tomatoes and lots of peas... some dried chili flakes. Served it over garlic-tasted pita... delish!

I made a few modifications, but it turned out to be delicious. I used a combination of fresh ginger and garlic for the garlic ginger paste. I also couldn't find the darn garam masala at the store, so I made my own mixture of cloves, cinnamon, cumin, ground mustard and tumeric (mostly tumeric). I added water to the potatoes to help them along and added the peas when adding the tomatoes, etc. I'm eating it right now, and it tastes fabulous.

Loved this recipe! We used spicy Hungarian paprika, so I reduced it by 1/2 tsp and we added 1/2 cup more peas after reading some of the other reviews. It turned out fantastic! I think a lot of how this turns out has to do with the ginger garlic paste. We used 'Patak's Original' brand 'Spicy Ginger & Garlic Marianade & Grill Sauce Tandoori Mild'. If you are from areas where you have HEB Central Market stores - that is where we found our's. We also use it in the Chicken Makhani (Indian Butter Chicken) recipe from this site and it is just fabulous!
