Directions
Step 1
Peel the potatoes and cut them into small cubes.
Step 2
In a large pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat.

When the oil is hot, add mustard seeds and cumin seeds. Let them splutter for about 30 seconds.

Add salt and mix thoroughly.
Step 8
Pour in the water, cover the pan with a lid, and let the potatoes cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and cooked through.
Step 9
Once the potatoes are soft, remove the lid and increase the heat to remove any excess moisture if necessary.
