Ingredients
- 500g baby potatoes or regular potatoes, chopped into chunks
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 2 teaspoons garam masala
- 1 teaspoon red chili powder (adjust to taste)
- Salt, to taste
- Fresh coriander, chopped (for garnish)
- Juice of 1 lemon
Instructions
- Begin by boiling the potatoes in salted water for about 10-15 minutes, or until they are just tender. Be careful not to overcook them. Drain and set aside.
- In a large pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and mustard seeds. Sauté for a minute or until they start to splutter.
- Add the turmeric powder, garam masala, red chili powder, and salt to the pan. Stir well to combine and let the spices cook for another minute, releasing their delightful aromas.
- Add the boiled potatoes to the pan and toss them gently in the spice mixture until well coated. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes begin to crisp up and absorb the spices.
- Once the potatoes are cooked and sautéed, remove from heat. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top and garnish with fresh coriander.
