Peel the potatoes and cut them into small cubes. Rinse them under cold water and set aside.
Finely chop the green chilies, and grate or mince the ginger and garlic.
Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and allow them to crackle for about 30 seconds.
Add the finely chopped green chilies, ginger, and garlic to the pan. SautΓ© for 1-2 minutes until they are fragrant and slightly golden.
Stir in the turmeric powder, red chili powder, and coriander powder. Cook the spices for about 1 minute to release their flavors.
Add the cubed potatoes to the pan and toss them gently to coat evenly with the spices.
Pour in the water and mix well. Cover the pan with a lid and let the potatoes cook on medium-low heat for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and cooked through.
Once the potatoes are cooked, remove the lid and increase the heat slightly to evaporate any excess water, if needed.
Sprinkle the garam masala over the potatoes and mix thoroughly.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro leaves and drizzle lemon juice over the top before serving.
Serve the Low Sodium Aaloo Sabzi hot, with a side of chapati or rice.
