Peel the potatoes and cut them into small cubes, approximately 1-inch in size.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.
Add cumin seeds and mustard seeds to the hot oil. Allow them to sizzle and pop for about 30 seconds.
Stir in the asafoetida, turmeric powder, and red chili powder, quickly mixing them for a few seconds to release their aroma.
Add the grated ginger and chopped green chilies, sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the cubed potatoes to the pan, stirring well to coat the potatoes with the spice mixture.
Pour in the water and sprinkle the coriander powder over the potatoes. Stir to combine, ensuring the spices are evenly distributed.
Cover the pan with a lid and cook on low-medium heat for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and cooked through.
Once the potatoes are cooked, uncover the pan, increase the heat to medium-high, and allow any excess water to evaporate, stirring gently.
Season with freshly ground black pepper and lemon juice, tossing everything to mix.
Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves before serving.
Serve the Low Sodium Potato Sabji hot with whole wheat chapati or as a side dish with rice.
