Ingredients

• 500 grams Baby potatoes
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Mustard seeds
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 10 leaves Curry leaves
• 2 units Green chilies (slit)
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped)

Directions

Step 1

Clean the baby potatoes thoroughly under running water. Do not peel the skin to retain maximum nutrients.

Step 2

Place the potatoes in a saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer until they are fork-tender, about 10-12 minutes. Drain and cut each potato in half.

Step 3

In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add mustard seeds and cumin seeds. Once they start to splutter, add the curry leaves and slit green chilies.

Step 4

Add the turmeric powder, red chili powder, and coriander powder to the pan. Stir briefly to release the flavors.

Step 5

Add the halved boiled potatoes to the pan and sprinkle with salt. Mix well to coat the potatoes with the spices.

Step 6

Allow the potatoes to cook and absorb the flavors for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 7

Remove from heat and drizzle with fresh lemon juice.

Step 8

Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro before serving.

Step 9

Serve warm as a healthy accompaniment to any meal.
