Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons sunflower oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro leaves
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Peel and dice the russet potatoes into roughly 1-inch cubes.
Heat the sunflower oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
Add cumin seeds and mustard seeds to the hot oil. Fry until the seeds begin to crackle and pop.
Add the diced potatoes to the pan and stir to coat them evenly with the oil and seeds.
Sprinkle turmeric powder, red chili powder, ground coriander, and salt over the potatoes and stir well to combine.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and allow the potatoes to cook for about 15 minutes or until tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Check the potatoes for doneness by piercing them with a fork. Once tender, remove the lid and increase the heat to medium-high.
Fry the potatoes uncovered for an additional 5 minutes, stirring frequently until they turn golden brown and crispy on the edges.
Remove the pan from the heat, then sprinkle the fried aloo with freshly chopped cilantro leaves and lemon juice.
Serve hot as a side dish or enjoy it with roti or rice.
