Ingredients
- 4 medium potatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon mustard seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili powder
- 1 inch ginger
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 medium green chili
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh coriander
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes. Set them aside in a bowl of water to prevent oxidation.
Step 2
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Once hot, add cumin seeds and mustard seeds. Allow them to sizzle and pop for 30 seconds.
Step 3
Add the grated ginger, minced garlic, and sliced green chili to the pan. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Step 4
Drain the potatoes and add them to the pan. Stir to coat the potatoes with the aromatic oil.
Step 5
Sprinkle turmeric powder, coriander powder, red chili powder, and salt over the potatoes. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Step 6
Cover the pan with a lid and cook over low-medium heat for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender.
Step 7
Remove the lid and check the potatoes for doneness by piercing them with a fork. If they are not yet tender, cook for an additional 5 minutes.
Step 8
Once the potatoes are fully cooked, stir in the lemon juice and mix gently.
Step 9
Garnish with fresh chopped coriander before serving.
Step 10
Serve the Heart-Healthy Aloo Sabji as a side dish with whole grain flatbreads or brown rice.
