Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili powder
- 1 medium onion
- 1 green chili
- 1 inch piece ginger
- 2 garlic cloves
- 0.75 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro leaves
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Wash the potatoes thoroughly and peel them if desired. Cut the potatoes into small cubes, approximately half-inch in size, for even cooking.
Finely chop the onion, green chili, ginger, and garlic. Keep them aside in a small bowl.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the cumin seeds and mustard seeds. Let them sizzle and pop for about 30 seconds, releasing their aroma.
Add the chopped onion, green chili, ginger, and garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onions become translucent.
Stir in the turmeric powder, coriander powder, and red chili powder. Mix well to coat the onions and spices evenly.
Add the cubed potatoes to the skillet and toss them well with the spice mixture.
Season with salt and reduce the heat to low. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the potatoes cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until the potatoes are tender.
Once the potatoes are cooked through, turn off the heat. Drizzle lemon juice over the subji and sprinkle with freshly chopped cilantro leaves.
Serve the Heart-Healthy Classic Potato Subji hot as a side dish with whole grain roti or a bowl of brown rice.
