Wash and peel the Yukon Gold potatoes. Chop them into bite-sized cubes, approximately 1-inch each.
Place the potato cubes in a medium-sized pot and cover with water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Cook the potatoes until they are just tender but not completely cooked through, about 7-8 minutes. Check doneness with a fork; it should pierce through with slight resistance.
Drain the potatoes and spread them on a clean kitchen towel to remove excess moisture.
Heat olive oil in a large, non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds until fragrant.
Add the parboiled potatoes to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until they are golden and crisp on the outside, about 10-12 minutes.
In the meantime, peel and grate the fresh ginger. Mince the green chili and chop the fresh cilantro.
Once the potatoes are golden, add the coriander powder, grated ginger, and minced green chili to the skillet. Stir well to combine.
Remove the skillet from the heat. Add the lime juice, half of the chopped cilantro, salt, and Kashmiri red chili powder. Toss everything together to ensure the potatoes are well-coated with the spices.
Transfer the Whole30 Aloo Chaat to a serving plate. Garnish with the remaining cilantro and serve immediately to enjoy the freshness and crispiness.
