  4. Incorporate Aromatics: Add minced garlic, freshly grated ginger, and minced red chili to the pan. Cook together for about 1 minute until aromatic.
  5. Mix Spices: Sprinkle in turmeric powder, ground cumin, and ground coriander, stirring for 1-2 minutes until well-coated and fragrant.
  6. Add Tomatoes: Fold in chopped tomatoes and cook until softened, around 3 minutes.
  7. Combine Ingredients: Pour in optional tomato paste and 1 cup of water, mixing well until combined.
  8. Combine Potatoes: Carefully add drained potatoes. Squeeze in fresh lime juice and season with salt and black pepper, stirring gently.
  9. Simmer: Cover the pan and let the curry simmer for 15 minutes, allowing flavors to meld together.
  10. Garnish: Just before serving, garnish with freshly chopped cilantro.
