Ingredients
- 500 grams Potatoes
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Mustard seeds
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
- 1 unit Green chilies
Directions
Step 1
Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into small cubes about 1-inch in size.
Step 2
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.
Step 3
Add mustard seeds and cumin seeds to the hot oil. Allow them to splutter for about 30 seconds.
Step 4
Add the cubed potatoes to the pan and stir well to coat with the spices.
Step 5
Sprinkle turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt over the potatoes. Mix well to ensure even coating.
Step 6
Cover the pan with a lid and let the potatoes cook on medium heat for about 15 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Step 7
Check if the potatoes are tender by inserting a fork. If they are almost cooked, remove the lid.
Step 8
Add coriander powder and garam masala, stirring gently to mix. Increase the heat to medium-high and sauté the potatoes for another 5-7 minutes until they have a slightly crispy outer layer.
Step 9
Turn off the heat and garnish the potatoes with chopped fresh cilantro and finely chopped green chilies.
Step 10
Serve the low fat fried aloo hot as a side dish or enjoy it as a light appetizer.
