Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Medium-sized potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Mustard seeds
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander leaves
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 cup Water
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and cut them into small cubes, about 1 inch in size.
Rinse the cubed potatoes under cold water to remove excess starch, then pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the mustard seeds and cumin seeds. Allow them to sizzle and crackle for about 30 seconds.
Add the potato cubes to the pan and stir to coat them with the oil and seeds.
Sprinkle the turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt over the potatoes. Mix well to combine.
Pour in the water, cover the pan with a lid, and reduce the heat to low. Allow the potatoes to cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove the lid and increase the heat to medium. Continue to cook for an additional 10 minutes, stirring often until the potatoes are golden and crispy.
Turn off the heat and add freshly chopped coriander leaves and lemon juice to the pan. Toss everything together to combine.
Serve the Nut-Free Fried Aloo hot as a side dish or a main course.
