Ingredients

• 500 grams potatoes
• 2 tablespoons mustard oil or vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon asafetida (hing) powder
• 2 green chilies, finely chopped
• 1 inch ginger, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon red chili powder
• 2 teaspoons coriander powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1.5 cups water
• 2 tablespoons fresh coriander leaves, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes.

Step 2

Heat the oil in a deep pan over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the cumin seeds to the hot oil and let them sizzle for a few seconds until they release their aroma.

Step 4

Add the asafetida, chopped green chilies, and ginger. Sauté for a minute until the ginger turns slightly golden.

Step 5

Add the potato cubes to the pan, stirring well to coat them with the spiced oil.

Step 6

Sprinkle the turmeric, red chili powder, coriander powder, and salt over the potatoes. Mix everything thoroughly.

Step 7

Pour in the water and stir. Cover the pan with a lid and let the potatoes simmer for about 15-20 minutes on low heat, or until they are tender and fully cooked. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking and to prevent sticking.

Step 8

Once the water has almost evaporated and the potatoes are soft, turn off the heat.

Step 9

Garnish the cooked aloo sabji with chopped fresh coriander leaves.

Step 10

Serve hot with puris, parathas, or rice.
