  Break potatoes into bite sized pieces.
  
  Heat oil (I use ghee) in a large pot. When hot, throw
  in fennel, fenugreek & mustard seeds.  After 20
  seconds, add red chilies.  As they darken, put in
  paste from blender.  Fry for 5 minutes, stirring
  frequently.  Put in the potato pieces & fry for 3 to 5
  minutes.  Add 1 1/2 c warm water. Bring to a boil.
  Add salt & lemon juice.  Simmer for 20 minutes.
  
  Before serving, sprinkle with garam masala.
