Ingredients
- 4 medium Potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon Mustard seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 large Green chilies
- 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander leaves
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes, approximately 1/2-inch in size, to ensure even cooking.
Step 2
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat.
Step 3
Once the oil is hot, add cumin seeds and mustard seeds. Allow them to sizzle for about 30 seconds until they start to pop.
Step 4
Add the diced potatoes to the pan and stir well to coat them with the oil and seeds.
Step 5
Sprinkle turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and salt over the potatoes. Stir everything together to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Step 6
Cover the pan with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Allow the potatoes to cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and fully cooked.
Step 7
While the potatoes are cooking, finely chop the green chilies and coriander leaves. Set aside.
Step 8
Once the potatoes are cooked and soft, remove the lid and increase the heat to medium-high.
Step 9
Add the chopped green chilies to the pan and stir well. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to blend the flavors.
Step 10
Turn off the heat and sprinkle lemon juice over the Alu Vaji. Stir gently to combine.
Step 11
Garnish the dish with fresh coriander leaves.
Step 12
Serve hot with rice, roti, or your choice of bread.
