Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Medium potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon Mustard seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Wash the potatoes thoroughly and peel them if desired. Cut them into 1-inch cubes.
Boil the potato cubes in salted water for 8-10 minutes, or until they are just tender but still firm. Drain and set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan or skillet over medium heat.
Add the cumin seeds and mustard seeds to the hot oil. Stir and let them sizzle for about 1 minute, or until they start to pop.
Add the turmeric powder, coriander powder, and red chili powder to the pan. Stir quickly to combine the spices with the oil.
Add the boiled potato cubes to the pan and toss them gently to coat them with the spices.
Sprinkle salt over the potatoes and continue to cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even browning without breaking the cubes.
Add the garam masala and stir gently to incorporate. Cook for another 2 minutes to blend the flavors.
Turn off the heat and add the freshly chopped cilantro leaves and a squeeze of lemon juice.
Mix lightly and serve immediately as a side dish or pair it with naan, roti, or rice.
