Ingredients

• 500 grams Baby potatoes
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon Mustard seeds
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Asafoetida (hing)
• 2 small Green chilies
• 1 inch Ginger
• 8 pieces Curry leaves
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (coriander leaves)
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and boil them in salted water until they are fork-tender (about 10-12 minutes). Drain and allow to cool slightly.

Step 2

Once cooled, peel the potatoes (if desired) and cut them in halves or quarters, depending on their size.

Step 3

Finely chop the green chilies and ginger. Roughly chop the fresh cilantro leaves and set aside.

Step 4

Heat vegetable oil in a large pan or skillet over medium heat.

Step 5

Once the oil is hot, add mustard seeds and let them splutter for about 30 seconds.

Step 6

Add the cumin seeds, turmeric powder, and asafoetida. Stir quickly to avoid burning the spices.

Step 7

Add the chopped green chilies, grated ginger, and curry leaves. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 8

Gently add the boiled potato pieces to the pan. Mix well to ensure the spices coat the potatoes evenly.

Step 9

Sprinkle salt over the potatoes and stir to combine.

Step 10

Allow the potatoes to roast in the pan for 8-10 minutes on medium heat, stirring occasionally, until they develop a golden crust.

Step 11

Turn off the heat and sprinkle chopped cilantro and lemon juice over the potatoes. Mix gently to retain the roasted texture.

Step 12

Serve warm as a side dish with your meal or enjoy it as a standalone snack.
