In a pan, heat the oil, add cumin seeds, curry leaves and asafoetida. Add the onions and fry till oily and translucent ( do not fry till pink because we want to retain the sweetness of the onions) , then add the green chillies and curry powder, fry well for 2 minutes. 

Then add the potato and tendli fry on high flame for 3 minutes. Place a lid and keep water on it. Reduce the flame to low and let it cook on steam. After 3 to 5 minutes and open the lid and give it a quick stir. Sprinkle a little hot water from the lid, add salt, sugar and again it a quick stir, cover with the lid, again add water on the lid and let it cook till the tendli is cooked.

This sabji tasted really good so simple yet tasty. The tendli was so tender that gave an awesome taste to the sabji.
