Add a pinch of asafoetida and sliced green chilies, stir for a few seconds.
Add the diced potatoes to the pan, and stir to coat them with the spices.
Sprinkle turmeric powder, coriander powder, red chili powder, and salt over the potatoes.
Mix well to ensure the potatoes are evenly coated with all the spices.
