 In a blender, combine the garlic and ginger and process until fine. (If you


 don't use ginger, just mince the garlic.) In a large saucepan, heat 1/2 cup


 of water over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook for 10 minutes, or


 until golden brown, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to medium and add


 garlic mixture and the chili. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Add


 the potatoes and cook 5 minutes. (You may have to add a little water to


 prevent sticking.) Reduce heat to medium low and add the tomatoes and


 spices. Cook, covered, 20 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Add more


 water if you like it to have a little more sauce. Sprinkle with garnish.


 Serves 4.
