Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and cut them into small cubes, approximately 1-inch in size.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
Add the cumin seeds to the hot oil and sauté for 30 seconds until they start to crackle.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the potato cubes to the pan.
Stir the potatoes so they are well coated with the oil and cumin seeds.
Sprinkle turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and salt over the potatoes.
Mix well to ensure the spices evenly coat the potato cubes.
Cover the pan with a lid and let the potatoes cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Check that the potatoes are cooked through by piercing them with a fork; they should be tender and golden brown on the outside.
Once cooked, remove the lid and increase the heat slightly to add crispiness to the potatoes. Fry for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly.
Turn off the heat, garnish with fresh cilantro, and serve hot as a side dish or snack.
