Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Mustard oil
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 whole Green chilies
- 10 leaves Curry leaves
- 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander leaves
- 100 milliliters Water
Instructions
Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into small cubes of approximately 1 cm.
Heat the mustard oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and let them splutter.
Add the curry leaves and chopped green chilies to the pan. Sauté them for about 1 minute until the chilies are fragrant.
Add the cubed potatoes to the pan. Stir well and cook for 2-3 minutes.
Sprinkle the turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and salt over the potatoes. Mix well to ensure the potatoes are evenly coated with the spices.
Pour in the water and stir well. Cover the pan with a lid and lower the heat to a simmer.
Cook the potatoes for about 15-20 minutes or until they are tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once the potatoes are cooked and water is absorbed, turn off the heat. Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves.
Serve the Sugar-Free Alu Vaji hot with Indian bread or as a side dish to your meal.
