Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes (about 1-2 cm each).

Step 2

Finely mince the garlic, ginger, and green chili. Chop the fresh cilantro and set aside.

Step 7

Sprinkle in the turmeric powder, ground coriander, ground cumin, and chili powder. Stir the spices into the oil for 30 seconds.

Step 8

Add the parboiled potatoes to the pan. Stir well to coat the potatoes evenly with the spices.

Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the fresh cilantro and lemon juice.
