### Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions (செய்முறை விளக்கம்)
1. **Fry the Potatoes:** Wash and peel the 500g of potatoes. Cut them into small pieces. Heat oil in a pan and deep fry the potato pieces until crispy and golden brown. Keep them aside.
2. **Make the Secret Spice Powder:** In a dry pan (without oil), roast dry red chilies, black pepper, cumin seeds, cinnamon, and cloves until aromatic. Let it cool, and grind it into a fine powder using a mixer grinder.
3. **Prepare the Gravy Base:** Heat a little oil in a pan. Add 1 tablespoon of ginger-garlic paste and sauté until the raw smell disappears.
4. **Sauté Onions & Tomatoes:** Add the finely chopped onions (250g) and fry until golden brown. Then add the chopped tomatoes and cook until they become soft and mushy.
5. **Add Yogurt & Spices:** Lower the flame and mix in 2 tablespoons of yogurt (curd). Add salt to taste and the freshly ground spice powder. Stir well and cook until the oil starts to separate from the gravy.
6. **Simmer with Potatoes:** Now, add the fried potatoes into the rich gravy. Mix gently so the spices coat the potatoes evenly.
7. **The Final Dum:** Cover the pan with a lid and keep the flame on low (simmer) for about 10 minutes. Once the oil separates beautifully and the gravy turns thick, turn off the stove.
