• 1 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

Peel and cube the potatoes into bite-sized pieces.

Heat coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 3

Add cumin seeds and let them sizzle for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Sprinkle in the turmeric, coriander, red chili powder, and salt. Stir well to combine.

Step 8

Add the cubed potatoes to the skillet, tossing to coat them with the spice mixture.

Step 9

Pour in 1 cup of water and bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 10

Cover the skillet, lower the heat, and cook for about 15-20 minutes until potatoes are tender, stirring occasionally. Add more water if needed to keep the mixture from becoming too dry.
