- 1 small Green chili
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Red chili powder

- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Mustard seeds
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander leaves
- 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 0.5 cup Water
Instructions
Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes and set aside in a bowl of water to prevent browning.
Finely chop the onion, tomatoes, ginger, garlic, and green chili. Set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and mustard seeds, and cook until they start to sizzle.
Add the chopped onions to the pan and sauté until they turn golden brown.
Stir in the ginger, garlic, and green chili, and cook for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the turmeric powder, red chili powder, and coriander powder. Stir well to coat the onion mixture with the spices.
Drain the potatoes and add them to the pan. Mix thoroughly until the potatoes are well coated with the spice mixture.
Add chopped tomatoes and salt. Cook until the tomatoes turn soft.
Pour in 0.5 cup of water, mix well, and cover the pan with a lid. Allow the potatoes to cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are tender.
Check the seasoning and adjust if necessary.
Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves before serving.
Serve the Dairy-Free Alu Vaji hot with rice or flatbread of your choice.
