• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Red chili powder

Directions

Step 1

Peel and cut the potatoes into 1-inch cubes.

Step 2

Finely chop the ginger and green chili.

Step 3

Dice the tomatoes and chop the cilantro for garnish.

Step 4

In a large pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them sizzle for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Add chopped ginger and green chili, sauté for another 30 seconds.

Step 6

Add the diced tomatoes to the pan and cook until they soften, about 5 minutes.

Stir in the turmeric and red chili powder, cooking for another 1 minute.

Step 8

Add the cubed potatoes, mixing well to coat them with the spices.

Step 9

Pour in the half cup of water and salt, then cover the pan with a lid.

Step 10

Reduce the heat to low-medium, and let the potatoes cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 11

Check the potatoes with a fork to make sure they are tender. If needed, add a little more water to ensure they don't stick to the pan.

Step 12

Once cooked, turn off the heat and garnish with fresh cilantro.

Step 13

Serve hot as a side dish with roti, rice, or as a part of a larger meal.
