Ingredients

• 500 grams Baby potatoes
• 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon Mustard seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
• 1 inch piece, grated Ginger
• 3 minced Garlic cloves
• 1 finely chopped Green chili
• 0.5 teaspoon or to taste Salt
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh cilantro
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Begin by washing the baby potatoes thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt. Leave the skin on, and cut them into quarters.

Step 2

In a large pot, add the cut potatoes and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil and let the potatoes cook until they are just fork-tender, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set the potatoes aside.

Step 3

In a non-stick pan or skillet, heat the extra virgin olive oil over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the cumin seeds and mustard seeds to the pan. Allow them to splutter and release their aroma for about 1 minute.

Step 5

Add the grated ginger, minced garlic, and chopped green chili to the pan. Sauté these aromatics for 2-3 minutes until the raw smell of garlic dissipates.

Step 6

Lower the heat and add turmeric powder, red chili powder, and coriander powder. Stir well to coat the aromatics in the spices.

Step 7

Add the boiled potatoes to the pan. Gently toss them with the spice mixture to evenly coat the potatoes.

Step 8

Season the potatoes with salt and allow them to cook on low heat for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are lightly crisp and golden brown.

Step 9

Turn off the heat and garnish the Aloo Ki Sabji with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lemon juice for added zest and flavor.

Step 10

Serve hot as a main dish or as a side, accompanied by whole-grain rotis or brown rice for a complete heart-healthy meal.
