• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 0.25 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

Peel the potatoes and cut them into small cubes.

Step 2

In a large pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat.

Step 3

When the oil is hot, add mustard seeds and cumin seeds. Let them splutter for about 30 seconds.

Add the finely chopped onion to the pan and sauté until golden brown, approximately 5 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the chopped green chili and turmeric powder, and cook for another minute.

Step 6

Add the cubed potatoes to the pan and stir well to coat them with the spices.

Step 7

Add salt and mix thoroughly.

Step 8

Pour in the water, cover the pan with a lid, and let the potatoes cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and cooked through.

Step 9

Once the potatoes are soft, remove the lid and increase the heat to remove any excess moisture if necessary.

Step 10

Stir in the lemon juice for a tangy finish and mix well.

Step 11

Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve hot as a side dish or with flatbread or rice.
