Peel the potatoes and cut them into small cubes, approximately 1-inch in size.
Heat the coconut oil in a large pan over medium heat.
Add the cumin seeds and mustard seeds to the pan. Allow them to sizzle and pop for about 30 seconds to release their flavors.
Stir in the cubed potatoes, ensuring they are coated with the oil and seeds evenly.
Sprinkle the turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and salt over the potatoes. Stir well to combine and coat the potatoes with the spices.
Add the water to the pan and cover it with a lid. Reduce the heat to low and let the potatoes cook for about 15 minutes or until they are tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once the potatoes are cooked and the water has been absorbed, increase the heat to medium and fry the potatoes for another 5 minutes, stirring frequently to achieve a slightly crispy texture.
Turn off the heat and drizzle the lemon juice over the potatoes. Toss gently to combine.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro leaves before serving.
