Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Potatoes
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Mustard seeds
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
- 1 unit Green chilies
Instructions
Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into small cubes about 1-inch in size.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.
Add mustard seeds and cumin seeds to the hot oil. Allow them to splutter for about 30 seconds.
Add the cubed potatoes to the pan and stir well to coat with the spices.
Sprinkle turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt over the potatoes. Mix well to ensure even coating.
Cover the pan with a lid and let the potatoes cook on medium heat for about 15 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Check if the potatoes are tender by inserting a fork. If they are almost cooked, remove the lid.
Add coriander powder and garam masala, stirring gently to mix. Increase the heat to medium-high and sauté the potatoes for another 5-7 minutes until they have a slightly crispy outer layer.
Turn off the heat and garnish the potatoes with chopped fresh cilantro and finely chopped green chilies.
Serve the low fat fried aloo hot as a side dish or enjoy it as a light appetizer.
