Ingredients

• 4 medium-sized Potatoes
• 6 pieces Garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander leaves
• 3 tablespoons Mustard oil (or any cooking oil)
• 0.25 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Wash them thoroughly to remove excess starch and set them aside in a bowl of water.

Step 2

Finely chop the garlic cloves and fresh coriander leaves. Keep them ready for cooking.

Step 3

In a large skillet or pan, heat the mustard oil over medium heat until it begins to shimmer. This step is crucial for removing the strong raw flavor of mustard oil.

Step 4

Add the cumin seeds to the hot oil and let them crackle for 30 seconds to release their aroma.

Step 5

Lower the heat slightly and add the chopped garlic. Stir-fry the garlic for 1-2 minutes until it turns golden and fragrant, ensuring it doesn’t burn.

Step 6

Drain the potatoes and add them to the pan. Stir well to coat the potatoes evenly in the garlic and cumin mixture.

Step 7

Sprinkle in the turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and salt. Mix thoroughly so the spices are evenly distributed.

Step 8

Add 1/4 cup of water, cover the pan with a lid, and let the potatoes cook on low to medium heat for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. The water will help the potatoes cook evenly and soften while allowing the spices to infuse fully.

Step 9

Once the potatoes are fork-tender and have absorbed the flavors, remove the lid and increase the heat slightly. Stir-fry them for an additional 3-5 minutes to crisp up the edges.

Step 10

Garnish the dish with freshly chopped coriander leaves before serving.

Step 11

Serve hot as a side dish with rice, bread, or as a standalone snack. Enjoy your flavorful Garlic Chauke Aaloo!
