Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams potatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 2 pieces green chilies
- 1 pinch asafoetida
- 10 leaves curry leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh coriander leaves
Instructions
Peel and slice the potatoes into thin wedges or cubes, about 1/4 inch thick.
In a large non-stick pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
Add mustard seeds and cumin seeds to the hot oil and let them crackle for about 30 seconds.
Add a pinch of asafoetida and the curry leaves. Stir for a few seconds until fragrant.
Slice the green chilies and add them to the pan along with 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric powder. Stir to combine.
Add the sliced potatoes and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Stir the potatoes to coat them evenly with the spices.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and let the potatoes cook for about 15-18 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Check the potatoes for doneness—when they are soft and cooked through, remove the lid.
Increase heat to medium and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring frequently to let any excess moisture evaporate and allow the potatoes to develop a slight crisp.
Turn off the heat and garnish with 2 tablespoons of freshly chopped coriander leaves.
Serve warm with any Indian bread or as a side dish with rice.
