Ingredients

• 4 medium potatoes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon coriander powder
• 0.5 teaspoon red chili powder
• 1 medium onion
• 1 green chili
• 1 inch piece ginger
• 2 garlic cloves
• 0.75 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro leaves
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Wash the potatoes thoroughly and peel them if desired. Cut the potatoes into small cubes, approximately half-inch in size, for even cooking.

Step 2

Finely chop the onion, green chili, ginger, and garlic. Keep them aside in a small bowl.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 4

Once the oil is hot, add the cumin seeds and mustard seeds. Let them sizzle and pop for about 30 seconds, releasing their aroma.

Step 5

Add the chopped onion, green chili, ginger, and garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onions become translucent.

Step 6

Stir in the turmeric powder, coriander powder, and red chili powder. Mix well to coat the onions and spices evenly.

Step 7

Add the cubed potatoes to the skillet and toss them well with the spice mixture.

Step 8

Season with salt and reduce the heat to low. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the potatoes cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until the potatoes are tender.

Step 9

Once the potatoes are cooked through, turn off the heat. Drizzle lemon juice over the subji and sprinkle with freshly chopped cilantro leaves.

Step 10

Serve the Heart-Healthy Classic Potato Subji hot as a side dish with whole grain roti or a bowl of brown rice.
