Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Baby potatoes
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Mustard seeds
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 10 leaves Curry leaves
- 2 units Green chilies (slit)
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped)
Instructions
Clean the baby potatoes thoroughly under running water. Do not peel the skin to retain maximum nutrients.
Place the potatoes in a saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer until they are fork-tender, about 10-12 minutes. Drain and cut each potato in half.
In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add mustard seeds and cumin seeds. Once they start to splutter, add the curry leaves and slit green chilies.
Add the turmeric powder, red chili powder, and coriander powder to the pan. Stir briefly to release the flavors.
Add the halved boiled potatoes to the pan and sprinkle with salt. Mix well to coat the potatoes with the spices.
Allow the potatoes to cook and absorb the flavors for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Remove from heat and drizzle with fresh lemon juice.
Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro before serving.
Serve warm as a healthy accompaniment to any meal.
