Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces medium potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 medium onion
- 2 pieces garlic cloves
- 1 inch piece fresh ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili powder
- 2 medium fresh tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Wash and peel the potatoes, then chop them into 1-inch cubes.
Finely chop the onion, garlic, and ginger. Dice the tomatoes.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and allow them to sizzle for 30 seconds until they release their aroma.
Add the chopped onion and sauté it until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the garlic and ginger, cooking for another 2 minutes.
Add the turmeric, coriander powder, and red chili powder. Stir well to coat the onion and release the spices' aroma.
Add the diced tomatoes and salt to the skillet. Cook until the tomatoes break down and form a sauce, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the potato cubes, ensuring they are well-coated with the tomato and spice mixture.
Cover the skillet with a lid and let the potatoes cook over low heat for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and cooked through.
Once cooked, remove from heat, sprinkle with fresh parsley and drizzle with lemon juice.
Serve the Mediterranean Diet Aloo Sabji warm as a side dish or with whole-grain bread.
