Ingredients

• 4 medium-sized Potatoes
• 2 tablespoons Oil
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon Mustard seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro leaves (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the potatoes and dice them into small, bite-sized cubes.

Step 2

Heat oil in a pan over medium heat.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Stir in the turmeric powder and immediately add the diced potatoes. Mix well so that the turmeric coats the potatoes evenly.

Step 5

Cover the pan with a lid and cook on low-medium heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Add red chili powder, coriander powder, garam masala, and salt. Mix well to incorporate the spices thoroughly.

Step 7

Cook for another 5–8 minutes, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and slightly crisp on the edges.

Step 8

Optional: Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro leaves before serving.

Step 9

Serve hot with chapati, paratha, or rice.
