Ingredients

• 4 medium potatoes
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
• 1 onion, chopped
• 2 tomato, chopped
• 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 coriander leaves, chopped
• 1 green chili, slitted (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes and set aside in a bowl of water to prevent oxidation.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the cumin seeds and mustard seeds to the hot oil and let them sizzle until they start to pop, about 30 seconds.

Step 4

Add the chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the chopped tomatoes and cook until they break down and become soft, about 4 minutes.

Step 6

Add the turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and salt. Mix well ensuring the spices are well combined with the onions and tomatoes.

Step 7

Drain the diced potatoes and add them to the pan, stirring them into the spiced onion-tomato mixture.

Step 8

Cover the pan with a lid and let the potatoes cook on low heat until tender, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, about 15 minutes.

Step 9

Once the potatoes are cooked, sprinkle the garam masala over the subji and stir gently.

Step 10

Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.

Step 11

Garnish the potato subji with chopped fresh coriander leaves and, if using, the slitted green chili.

Step 12

Serve hot as a side dish or main dish with rice or flatbread.
