Method

Bring a large pot of water to a boil with 1 tsp salt and 1 tsp oil. Add macaroni and cook 6-8 minutes until al dente (firm-bite, not mushy). Drain. Toss with 1/2 tsp oil to prevent sticking. Set aside.
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a wide pan on medium. Add cumin seeds; let crackle 5-10 seconds.
Add ginger paste (and garlic if using). Sauté 30 seconds until raw smell goes.
Add chopped fresh tomatoes. Cover and cook 4-5 minutes on medium until tomatoes soften and break down.
Add cubed potatoes, turmeric, red chilli powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, and salt. Stir-fry 2-3 minutes to coat potatoes with masala.
Stir in tomato puree. Cook 1-2 minutes until oil starts to separate around the masala.
Add 1/2 cup water. Cover and simmer on medium-low 8-10 minutes until potatoes are fork-tender.
Gently fold in the cooked macaroni. Stir to coat with gravy. Simmer uncovered on low 30 seconds — just to warm through and let macaroni absorb flavours.
Switch off heat. Garnish with chopped coriander leaves. Serve hot with phulka or yogurt.
