Ingredients

• 4 pieces Medium-sized potatoes
• 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon Mustard seeds
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander leaves
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 0.25 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

Peel the potatoes and cut them into small cubes, about 1 inch in size.

Step 2

Rinse the cubed potatoes under cold water to remove excess starch, then pat them dry with a kitchen towel.

Step 3

Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.

Step 4

Once the oil is hot, add the mustard seeds and cumin seeds. Allow them to sizzle and crackle for about 30 seconds.

Step 5

Add the potato cubes to the pan and stir to coat them with the oil and seeds.

Step 6

Sprinkle the turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt over the potatoes. Mix well to combine.

Step 7

Pour in the water, cover the pan with a lid, and reduce the heat to low. Allow the potatoes to cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 8

Remove the lid and increase the heat to medium. Continue to cook for an additional 10 minutes, stirring often until the potatoes are golden and crispy.

Step 9

Turn off the heat and add freshly chopped coriander leaves and lemon juice to the pan. Toss everything together to combine.

Step 10

Serve the Nut-Free Fried Aloo hot as a side dish or a main course.
