Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Medium potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 1 piece Medium onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, minced
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium Tomato, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro leaves, chopped
- 1 cup Water
Instructions
Peel and cube the potatoes into bite-sized pieces.
Heat coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add cumin seeds and let them sizzle for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the chopped onion and sauté until it turns golden brown.
Stir in the minced ginger and garlic, cooking for another 1-2 minutes until aromatic.
Add the chopped tomato and cook until it softens and the oil starts to separate, about 5 minutes.
Sprinkle in the turmeric, coriander, red chili powder, and salt. Stir well to combine.
Add the cubed potatoes to the skillet, tossing to coat them with the spice mixture.
Pour in 1 cup of water and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Cover the skillet, lower the heat, and cook for about 15-20 minutes until potatoes are tender, stirring occasionally. Add more water if needed to keep the mixture from becoming too dry.
Once the potatoes are cooked through, adjust seasoning if necessary.
Garnish with chopped cilantro leaves before serving.
Serve hot with a side of fresh salad or enjoy it as is.
