Ingredients
- 4 pieces Medium-sized potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Mustard seeds
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander leaves
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 cup Water
Directions
Step 1
Peel the potatoes and cut them into small cubes, about 1 inch in size.
Step 2
Rinse the cubed potatoes under cold water to remove excess starch, then pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
Step 3
Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.
Step 4
Once the oil is hot, add the mustard seeds and cumin seeds. Allow them to sizzle and crackle for about 30 seconds.
Step 5
Add the potato cubes to the pan and stir to coat them with the oil and seeds.
Step 6
Sprinkle the turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt over the potatoes. Mix well to combine.
Step 7
Pour in the water, cover the pan with a lid, and reduce the heat to low. Allow the potatoes to cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 8
Remove the lid and increase the heat to medium. Continue to cook for an additional 10 minutes, stirring often until the potatoes are golden and crispy.
Step 9
Turn off the heat and add freshly chopped coriander leaves and lemon juice to the pan. Toss everything together to combine.
Step 10
Serve the Nut-Free Fried Aloo hot as a side dish or a main course.
