Peel the skin. This is a bit difficult task but worth the effort.
In a bowl, add the peeled potatoes, drizzle a tbsp of oil over it, then sprinkle all the spice powder (mentioned under Spice powder) and salt over the potatoes. Mix it well so that the potatoes are evenly coated with the spices. Let it sit for 30 minutes.

What to do if potatoes become mushy
Then make regular potato curry.
If you remove the skin and boil, it would be easier to maintain the shape as peeling the skin would smash the potatoes
