Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium potatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon mustard seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili powder
- 1 inch ginger
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 medium green chili
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh coriander
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes. Set them aside in a bowl of water to prevent oxidation.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Once hot, add cumin seeds and mustard seeds. Allow them to sizzle and pop for 30 seconds.
Add the grated ginger, minced garlic, and sliced green chili to the pan. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Drain the potatoes and add them to the pan. Stir to coat the potatoes with the aromatic oil.
Sprinkle turmeric powder, coriander powder, red chili powder, and salt over the potatoes. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Cover the pan with a lid and cook over low-medium heat for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender.
Remove the lid and check the potatoes for doneness by piercing them with a fork. If they are not yet tender, cook for an additional 5 minutes.
Once the potatoes are fully cooked, stir in the lemon juice and mix gently.
Garnish with fresh chopped coriander before serving.
Serve the Heart-Healthy Aloo Sabji as a side dish with whole grain flatbreads or brown rice.
