Radhi Devlukia-Shetty’s potato is anything but boring.
“I love a good old simple baked potato, but here’s how we Indians do it! It’s all about bold, fresh spices [with] heat from fresh chili”, says the author of the new Joyful cook.
“It’s a comforting, satisfying and nutritious dish that doesn’t need more than a little raita or yogurt and some naan or rice to make it a satisfying carb meal,” adds Devlukia-Shetty, who is married to trainer Jay Shetty for life.

Stir in garam masala, coriander, cumin and turmeric; cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Reduce heat to low, add tomatoes and salt; bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Continue to simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly, 3 to 4 minutes.
3. Add the potatoes to the spicy tomato sauce and continue to simmer, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are heated through, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat, top with cilantro; serve immediately.
