Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon Mustard seeds
- 10 fresh leaves Curry leaves
- 1 inch piece, minced Ginger
- 2 minced Green chilies
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 0.25 cup, chopped Fresh cilantro
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Water
Directions
Step 1
Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes, about 1-inch in size, to ensure they cook evenly and quickly.
Step 2
Heat the coconut oil in a large pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the cumin and mustard seeds to the pan.
Step 3
Allow the seeds to crackle and pop, then add the curry leaves, minced ginger, and green chilies. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes until the ginger is fragrant.
Step 4
Add the diced potatoes to the pan, stirring well to coat them with the spices.
Step 5
Sprinkle turmeric powder, coriander powder, red chili powder, and salt over the potatoes. Stir everything together to mix the spices with the potatoes.
Step 6
Pour in the water and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Cover the pan with a lid, reduce the heat to low, and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are cooked through and tender.
Step 7
Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking. The potatoes should be soft but not mushy.
Step 8
Once the potatoes are cooked, remove the lid and increase the heat to medium to evaporate any excess water, if necessary. Stir gently to avoid breaking the potatoes.
Step 9
Turn off the heat and add the lemon juice. Mix well.
Step 10
Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro before serving for a burst of flavor.
