Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Baby potatoes
- 2 tsp Cumin seeds
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 0.5 tsp Turmeric powder
- 0.25 tsp Red chili powder
- 1 tsp Salt
- 2 tbsp Fresh coriander (chopped)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 tsp Lemon juice
Instructions
Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and boil them in salted water for 10-12 minutes or until just tender. Do not overcook. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, gently peel their skins (optional) or leave them unpeeled for a rustic texture.
Heat the olive oil in a large pan or skillet over medium heat.
Add the cumin seeds to the hot oil and let them sizzle for 30 seconds until aromatic.
Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for another 30 seconds, being careful not to let it burn.
Add the boiled baby potatoes to the pan and toss well to coat them in the oil and cumin.
Sprinkle in the turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Stir everything together so the spices evenly coat the potatoes.
Cook the potatoes for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they develop a golden, crispy exterior.
Turn off the heat and drizzle the lemon juice over the potatoes. Toss to combine.
Garnish with freshly chopped coriander and serve warm as a side dish or snack.
