Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized Potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Oil
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 0.5 teaspoons Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Garam masala
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (coriander leaves)
- 1 piece Green chili (optional)
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and rinse them in water. Slice them into thin wedges or small cubes, whichever you prefer.
Chop the fresh cilantro and optionally slice the green chili for garnishing. Set these aside.
Heat 3 tablespoons of oil in a non-stick or cast-iron skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the cumin seeds. Let them sizzle for 30 seconds until aromatic.
Add the potato wedges or cubes to the skillet. Stir well to coat the potatoes evenly with the oil.
Sprinkle the turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and salt over the potatoes. Stir to combine and coat the potatoes with the spices.
Reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the potatoes cook for 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking or burning.
Once the potatoes are tender and golden brown, remove the lid. Add garam masala and stir well.
Increase the heat slightly and sauté the potatoes for an additional 2–3 minutes to make them crispy.
Turn off the heat and garnish the spicy fried potatoes with chopped cilantro and optional green chili slices.
Serve immediately as a side dish with rice, roti, or enjoy it on its own as a delicious snack.
