Peel the potatoes and chop them into small, even-sized cubes.
Finely chop the green chilies and cilantro (coriander leaves) and set aside for garnish.
Heat the oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and mustard seeds, and let them sizzle for about 30 seconds until they start to crackle.
Add a pinch of asafoetida (hing), followed by the turmeric powder. Stir quickly to mix gently.
Toss in the chopped potatoes and stir well to coat them with the spiced oil.
Sprinkle the red chili powder, coriander powder, black salt, and regular salt over the potatoes. Stir to ensure all the spices are well combined.
Pour in the water and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, lower the heat, cover the pan with a lid, and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are cooked through and tender.
Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure that the potatoes cook evenly. If needed, add a little more water to maintain a slightly saucy consistency.
Once the potatoes are fully cooked and the sauce has thickened, turn off the heat.
Garnish the Aloo Ki Sabzi with finely chopped cilantro and green chilies.
Serve hot with roti, puri, or rice for a satisfying and flavorful meal.
