Peel and cut the potatoes into small cubes, about 1-inch in size.
Heat coconut oil in a deep pan over medium heat.
Add mustard seeds to the hot oil. Once they begin to splutter, add the cumin seeds.
Add asafoetida, turmeric powder, and stir briefly.
Add the chopped green chilies and curry leaves to the pan. Sauté for about 30 seconds until they release their aroma.
Add the cubed potatoes to the pan, stirring well to ensure they are coated with the spices.
Pour in the water and add salt. Stir to combine, then cover the pan with a lid.
Allow the potatoes to cook for about 10-15 minutes on medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and cooked through.
Remove the lid and increase the heat to evaporate any remaining water, stirring gently to avoid breaking the potatoes.
Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves before serving.
Serve hot as a side dish with your choice of bread or rice.
