Ingredients

• 500 grams Baby potatoes
• 1 cup Fresh coriander leaves
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 pieces Garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 0.5 teaspoons Turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and boil them in salted water until tender (approximately 10 minutes). Drain and let them cool slightly.

Step 2

Peel the boiled potatoes if desired, or leave the skin on for a more rustic texture.

Step 3

Finely chop the fresh coriander leaves and set them aside.

Step 4

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 5

Add the cumin seeds to the hot oil and let them sizzle for about 30 seconds until aromatic.

Step 6

Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the skillet. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.

Step 7

Stir in the ground coriander, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Cook for 30 seconds to toast the spices.

Step 8

Add the boiled potatoes to the skillet and toss them gently to coat them evenly with the spice mixture.

Step 9

Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of water over the potatoes to prevent the spices from sticking to the pan. Continue to cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes start to crisp up slightly.

Step 10

Turn off the heat and mix in the chopped fresh coriander leaves and lemon juice.

Step 11

Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy on its own!
