Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Baby potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon Mustard seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 1 inch piece, grated Ginger
- 3 minced Garlic cloves
- 1 finely chopped Green chili
- 0.5 teaspoon or to taste Salt
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Begin by washing the baby potatoes thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt. Leave the skin on, and cut them into quarters.
In a large pot, add the cut potatoes and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil and let the potatoes cook until they are just fork-tender, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set the potatoes aside.
In a non-stick pan or skillet, heat the extra virgin olive oil over medium heat.
Add the cumin seeds and mustard seeds to the pan. Allow them to splutter and release their aroma for about 1 minute.
Add the grated ginger, minced garlic, and chopped green chili to the pan. Sauté these aromatics for 2-3 minutes until the raw smell of garlic dissipates.
Lower the heat and add turmeric powder, red chili powder, and coriander powder. Stir well to coat the aromatics in the spices.
Add the boiled potatoes to the pan. Gently toss them with the spice mixture to evenly coat the potatoes.
Season the potatoes with salt and allow them to cook on low heat for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are lightly crisp and golden brown.
Turn off the heat and garnish the Aloo Ki Sabji with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lemon juice for added zest and flavor.
Serve hot as a main dish or as a side, accompanied by whole-grain rotis or brown rice for a complete heart-healthy meal.
