Step 1
Peel the potatoes and cut them into small cubes about 1/2 inch in size.

Step 6
Carefully add the potato cubes to the frying pan and stir to coat them evenly with the oil and seeds.
Step 7
Sprinkle turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt over the potatoes. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Step 8
Cook the potatoes on medium heat, uncovered, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, for about 20-25 minutes or until they are crispy and golden brown on the outside.
Step 9
Once the potatoes are cooked through, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Garnish with fresh coriander leaves before serving.
