Heat 3 cups of oil in a large pot until really hot.

Add sliced white onions and cook until they are about 85% done, aiming for a golden color.

Add 2 tablespoons of garlic ginger paste and sauté for 5 minutes until fragrant.

Stir in 2 tablespoons of red chili powder, 2 tablespoons of salt, 2 tablespoons of coriander powder, and 1 teaspoon of turmeric, mixing well with the meat.

Add chopped plum tomatoes and mix in, cooking until the tomatoes soften.

Cover the pot and cook on medium heat to let the steam from the tomatoes and yogurt tenderize the meat for about 25-30 minutes, stirring every 20 minutes.

Add chopped cilantro and green chili before adding water.

Add the boiled potatoes to the pot and mix them into the masala, cooking for another 5 minutes on high heat.

Pour in 2 glasses of water and bring to a boil, cooking on medium heat until the oil separates from the curry.
