Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium potatoes
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon mustard seeds
- 0.25 teaspoon asafoetida
- 2 whole, slit green chili
- 1 inch, grated ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon or to taste salt
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh coriander leaves
Instructions
Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes. Rinse them thoroughly under cold water to remove excess starch.
In a heavy-bottomed pan, heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil over medium heat.
Add 1 teaspoon of cumin seeds and 0.5 teaspoon of mustard seeds to the hot oil. Allow them to sizzle and crackle for about 30 seconds.
Add 0.25 teaspoon of asafoetida, 2 slit green chilies, and 1 inch of grated ginger to the pan. Stir well for another minute until fragrant.
Sprinkle in 0.5 teaspoon of turmeric powder, 0.5 teaspoon of red chili powder, and 1 teaspoon of coriander powder. Stir the spices well to combine them with the aromatic base.
Add the diced potatoes to the pan, stirring well so that the potatoes are coated evenly with the spice mixture.
Season with 1 teaspoon of salt or to taste, and pour in 1 cup of water. Stir the mixture and bring it to a simmer.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and let the potatoes cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and the flavors have melded.
Once the potatoes are cooked through, uncover the pan and increase the heat to medium. Allow any excess water to evaporate, stirring occasionally, for about 3-4 minutes.
Garnish with 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh coriander leaves before serving.
Serve the Aloo ki Subji hot with your choice of bread, such as roti or paratha, or rice.
