Ingredients

• 4 medium-sized Potatoes
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon Mustard seeds
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 1 medium-sized, finely chopped Onion
• 1 teaspoon Ginger-garlic paste
• 2 finely chopped Green chilies
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
• 1 teaspoon (adjust to taste) Salt
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh coriander leaves
• 0.5 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

Peel and cube the potatoes into 1-inch pieces and set aside in a bowl of water to prevent browning.

Step 2

Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the mustard seeds and cumin seeds to the hot oil. Let them splutter for a few seconds.

Step 4

Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until translucent and golden brown.

Step 5

Stir in the ginger-garlic paste and chopped green chilies. Sauté for another minute until fragrant.

Step 6

Drain the water from the potatoes and add them to the pan. Stir well to coat the potatoes with the spiced mixture.

Step 7

Sprinkle the turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and salt over the potatoes. Mix thoroughly to combine the spices.

Step 8

Pour in 0.5 cup of water and cover the pan with a lid. Reduce the heat to low and let the potatoes cook for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and cooked through.

Step 9

Once the potatoes are cooked, check the seasoning and adjust salt if needed.

Step 10

Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves and serve hot with rice or roti.
