Soak the poppy seeds in lukewarm water for 30 minutes and then grind along with the green chilies into a smooth paste. Keep aside.

Heat oil and temper with the panch phoron. After it stops spluttering, add the potatoes and turmeric powder. Saute till light brown.

Add the poppy seeds paste and saute till well blended. Add a cup of water and salt to taste. Bring it to a boil and simmer, covered on low flame till the potatoes are soft and the gravy is thick.

Serve, garnished with coriander leaves. Can be had both with rice or chapattis.
