Peel the potatoes and keep in salty water for 1/2 hour. Fry in ghee till golden brown and firm. Keep aside. In a little ghee crackle the cloves, cinnamon and cardamom. Add the ginger paste and stir for another 2 minutes. Add red chilli powder and turmeric and simmer. Roast cumin seeds in a dry pan and grind them to a powder. Add sugar and cumin powder and stir for 2 minutes. Beat the curd and add to the pan. Lower the temperature and add the fried potatoes, simmering with lid on until potatoes are tender.

Serve hot, garnished with slit green chillies and chopped coriander leaves.
