Heat oil in a kadhai. Add bay leaf, mustard seeds, methi, jeera and let them splutter. 5. Reduce the flame. Add the poppy paste, 2 green chillies, red chili powder and salt and stir fry for 3-4 mins. 6. Add the semi-cooked potatoes to the poppy paste, mix well and again stir fry for 2-3 mins. 7. Add water and cook till the water evaporates and the potatoes are done. 8. Transfer in a serving bowl and serve hot with rice and daal.
