Ingredients

• 4 medium potatoes
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon mustard seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon coriander powder
• 0.5 teaspoon red chili powder
• 1 inch ginger
• 3 garlic cloves
• 1 medium green chili
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons fresh coriander
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes. Set them aside in a bowl of water to prevent oxidation.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Once hot, add cumin seeds and mustard seeds. Allow them to sizzle and pop for 30 seconds.

Step 3

Add the grated ginger, minced garlic, and sliced green chili to the pan. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 4

Drain the potatoes and add them to the pan. Stir to coat the potatoes with the aromatic oil.

Step 5

Sprinkle turmeric powder, coriander powder, red chili powder, and salt over the potatoes. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.

Step 6

Cover the pan with a lid and cook over low-medium heat for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender.

Step 7

Remove the lid and check the potatoes for doneness by piercing them with a fork. If they are not yet tender, cook for an additional 5 minutes.

Step 8

Once the potatoes are fully cooked, stir in the lemon juice and mix gently.

Step 9

Garnish with fresh chopped coriander before serving.

Step 10

Serve the Heart-Healthy Aloo Sabji as a side dish with whole grain flatbreads or brown rice.
