Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized Potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Oil
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Mustard seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro leaves (optional)
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and dice them into small, bite-sized cubes.
Heat oil in a pan over medium heat.
Add cumin seeds and mustard seeds to the hot oil. Allow them to splutter for a few seconds.
Stir in the turmeric powder and immediately add the diced potatoes. Mix well so that the turmeric coats the potatoes evenly.
Cover the pan with a lid and cook on low-medium heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Add red chili powder, coriander powder, garam masala, and salt. Mix well to incorporate the spices thoroughly.
Cook for another 5–8 minutes, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and slightly crisp on the edges.
Optional: Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro leaves before serving.
Serve hot with chapati, paratha, or rice.
