Ingredients
- 500 grams golden potatoes
- 2 teaspoons cumin seeds
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 cloves garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
Directions
Step 1
Wash the golden potatoes thoroughly and cut them into small cubes, approximately 1-inch in size. Do not peel the skin unless preferred.
Step 2
Mince the garlic cloves finely and set aside. Chop the fresh cilantro and keep it ready for garnish.
Step 3
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat.
Step 4
Once the oil is hot, add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle for 30 seconds until aromatic.
Step 5
Add the minced garlic and sauté for another 30 seconds, being careful not to burn it.
Step 6
Toss in the cubed potatoes and stir well to coat them with the cumin and garlic mixture.
Step 7
Sprinkle the turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt over the potatoes. Mix everything thoroughly to distribute the spices evenly.
Step 8
Reduce the heat slightly to medium-low, cover the skillet with a lid, and let the potatoes cook for about 15-18 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking.
Step 9
Check the potatoes for doneness by piercing them with a fork or skewer. They should be tender and lightly crisp on the outside.
Step 10
Turn off the heat, garnish with freshly chopped cilantro, and serve hot.
