Ingredients

• 500 grams Potatoes
• 1 medium Onion
• 1 medium Tomato
• 1 small Green chili
• 1 inch piece Ginger
• 0.5 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
• 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
• 0.75 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Water
• 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander leaves
• 1 teaspoon Mustard oil

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes, approximately 1-inch in size. Finely chop the onion and tomato. Slit the green chili lengthwise and finely chop the ginger.

Step 2

Heat 1 teaspoon of mustard oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Once hot, add cumin seeds and let them crackle.

Step 3

Add the chopped onions and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they turn translucent.

Step 4

Add the chopped ginger and green chili, sauté for another minute until the raw smell of ginger disappears.

Step 5

Add the chopped tomatoes and cook until they become soft and mushy, stirring occasionally.

Step 6

Stir in the turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and salt. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the spices are well mixed.

Step 7

Add the diced potatoes and stir to coat them with the spice mix.

Step 8

Pour in the cup of water, cover the pan with a lid, and let the potatoes cook for about 12-15 minutes on low heat until they are tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 9

Once the potatoes are cooked, add garam masala and mix well. Cook for another 2 minutes without the lid.

Step 10

Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves before serving.

Step 11

Serve the Low Fat Aaloo Sabzi hot with chapati or steamed rice.
