Both garam masala powder and fennel powder is optional or u can use either one of these.

In a iron kadai, do the seasoning with the seasoning items, then add onion, garlic, ginger , green chilly fry nicely till onion turns golden brown, cook in the slow fire throughout this procedure. Then add tomato, salt and all the powders, cook for a while, so that it will come like a thick thokku now add the potato cubes, stir nicely so that the potato cubes is covered nicely with the thokku and cook till the potato pieces becomes crispy, this will take nearly 15 to 20 minutes. We need patience, donot stir frequently. This comes nicely in iron kadai. Serve it with sambar rice, curd rice etc
