Drumstick potato in khus khus gravy

Drumsticks and posto! A match made in heaven.
What more could someone like me ask for?
When I saw this recipe, I knew I just had to make it, and it was every bit as lovely as I hoped it would be.


2 large potatoes, cubed
1 drumstick, cut into 3" long pieces
1 onion, chopped
1 large tomato , chopped
5 tbsp khus khus / posto (soaked in water for 15 mins)
2-3 green chillies
2-3 flakes of garlic
1 tsp red chilli powder (adjust to taste)
1 tbsp coriander powder
1/2 tsp cumin seeds / jeera
A pinch of turmeric powder
2 tbsp oil
Salt to taste

Method
Grind the soaked khus khus with jeera, coriander, and garlic into a smooth paste. Add water as necessary.
Heat the oil, add onions and green chillies and fry until lightly browned. Then add the drumsticks and potato cubes. Add in 2 cups water and mix well.
When the mixture comes to a boil, add the ground khus khus paste, chilli powder, turmeric, and some salt. Mix well.
Throw in the tomatoes and mix.
The mixture should still be a bit watery for the vegetables to full cook. If it's not, add some more water. Cook covered until the potatoes are soft and the drumsticks are cooked through. Adjust salt.
Serve with rotis.
