Then add tomato paste and stir, add diced tomatoes, frozen cooked diced potatoes, salt, and pepper, mix well, and let simmer for 5 minutes.

  5. To make raita sauce, combine all raita ingredients together, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, chopped garlic, grated cucumber, chopped fresh mint, chopped fresh cilantro, ground cumin, salt and black pepper in a bowl and mix until fully combined.
  6. Garnish with chopped parsley.
