Ingredients

• 4 medium Potatoes
• 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander leaves
• 4 small Garlic cloves
• 1 medium Green chili
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Mustard oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper powder

Directions

Step 1

Wash the potatoes thoroughly and place them in a large pot filled with water. Boil the potatoes for about 20 minutes or until they are tender and cooked through. A fork should easily pierce through the potatoes.

Step 2

While the potatoes are boiling, chop the coriander leaves finely and set aside. Peel and finely chop the garlic cloves and green chili. Adjust the quantity of green chili according to your spice preference.

Step 3

Once the potatoes are cooked, drain the water and let them cool slightly. Peel the potatoes and place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 4

Mash the potatoes with a fork or a potato masher until smooth. Add turmeric powder, lemon juice, chopped garlic, green chili, and coriander leaves to the mashed potatoes.

Step 5

In a small pan, heat the mustard oil until it's hot but not smoking. Reduce the heat and add cumin seeds. Let them crackle for a few seconds.

Step 6

Pour the tempered cumin oil over the mashed potato mixture. Add black pepper powder and mix everything well until the ingredients are well incorporated.

Step 7

Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary. Since this is a low sodium dish, rely on the fresh ingredients and spices to bring out the flavors.

Step 8

Serve the Low Sodium Aloo Chokha warm or at room temperature as a side dish or a dip with flatbreads.
