Pictorial : 

            1) Pressure cook the potatoes for 3 whistles. Peel the skin and chop into cubes.  Keep it aside. 


            2) Heat oil in a pan.  (I have used my pressure cooker as it is wide and has heavy bottom.  Using heavy bottomed or non-stick pan helps the gravy not stick to the bottom.) 


            3) Add whole spices ( cinnamon,  cloves,  cardomom,  fennel seeds and cumin seeds)  


            4) After it splutters,  add chopped onion and green chillies.
