Add mint and cilantro and fry briefly. Stir in coconut and cashews and fry until very fragrant. Add potatoes and saute briefly.
5.
Add enough water to submerge potatoes and cook over low until potatoes are cooked through.
Used about 5 new red potatoes (diced and parboiled), omitted green chili, doubled the turmeric, and omitted fresh cilantro and mint. Added some cooked chickpeas at the end and served with jasmine rice. There wasn't enough sauce for the amount of potato used, and could have used a bit more salt.
