Ingredients
- 500 grams russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons sunflower oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro leaves
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Peel and dice the russet potatoes into roughly 1-inch cubes.
Step 2
Heat the sunflower oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
Step 3
Add cumin seeds and mustard seeds to the hot oil. Fry until the seeds begin to crackle and pop.
Step 4
Add the diced potatoes to the pan and stir to coat them evenly with the oil and seeds.
Step 5
Sprinkle turmeric powder, red chili powder, ground coriander, and salt over the potatoes and stir well to combine.
Step 6
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and allow the potatoes to cook for about 15 minutes or until tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Step 7
Check the potatoes for doneness by piercing them with a fork. Once tender, remove the lid and increase the heat to medium-high.
Step 8
Fry the potatoes uncovered for an additional 5 minutes, stirring frequently until they turn golden brown and crispy on the edges.
Step 9
Remove the pan from the heat, then sprinkle the fried aloo with freshly chopped cilantro leaves and lemon juice.
Step 10
Serve hot as a side dish or enjoy it with roti or rice.
