Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams golden potatoes
- 2 teaspoons cumin seeds
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 cloves garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
Instructions
Wash the golden potatoes thoroughly and cut them into small cubes, approximately 1-inch in size. Do not peel the skin unless preferred.
Mince the garlic cloves finely and set aside. Chop the fresh cilantro and keep it ready for garnish.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle for 30 seconds until aromatic.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for another 30 seconds, being careful not to burn it.
Toss in the cubed potatoes and stir well to coat them with the cumin and garlic mixture.
Sprinkle the turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt over the potatoes. Mix everything thoroughly to distribute the spices evenly.
Reduce the heat slightly to medium-low, cover the skillet with a lid, and let the potatoes cook for about 15-18 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking.
Check the potatoes for doneness by piercing them with a fork or skewer. They should be tender and lightly crisp on the outside.
Turn off the heat, garnish with freshly chopped cilantro, and serve hot.
