Ingredients
- 4 medium red potatoes
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 unit medium onion, finely chopped
- 1 unit green chili, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 0.5 teaspoon garam masala
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 cup water
- 2 tablespoons cilantro leaves, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Wash and peel the potatoes, then cut them into small cubes about 1-inch in size.
Step 2
Heat the coconut oil in a large pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the mustard seeds and cumin seeds. Fry them until they start to pop and become fragrant.
Step 3
Add the chopped onion to the pan and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 4
Stir in the chopped green chili and grated ginger, and cook for another minute.
Step 5
Reduce the heat to low, and add the turmeric powder, coriander powder, and sea salt. Stir to coat the onions with the spices.
Step 6
Add the cubed potatoes to the pan, mixing well to ensure they are evenly coated with the spice mixture.
Step 7
Pour in the water, cover the pan with a lid, and let the potatoes cook on low heat, stirring occasionally, for about 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender and cooked through.
Step 8
Once the potatoes are cooked, sprinkle the garam masala over them, stir gently, and let it cook for another 2 minutes.
Step 9
Garnish with chopped cilantro leaves and serve hot as a side dish or as a filling for dosas or sandwiches.
