Ingredients

• 2 medium or 1 ½ cups Potatoes Boiled, peeled and cubed (See Notes)
• 1 ½ tablespoons Oil
• 1 ½ teaspoons Cumin seeds
• 2 Green chilies chopped finely
• 1 teaspoon Ginger minced
• ½ teaspoon Turmeric powder
• Salt to taste
• ½ teaspoon Red chili powder
• ½ teaspoon Coriander powder
• 2-3 teaspoons Lemon juice or lime juice
• 2 tablespoons Cilantro or coriander leaves

Instructions 

Step 1: Heat the oil in a pan on medium heat. Once hot add cumin seeds and let them sizzle. Seeds will get a nice brown color and you’ll have a nice toasty aroma of the cumin.

Step 2: Now add ginger and green chili. Saute for 30-40 seconds or until the raw smell of ginger goes away.

Step 3: Add turmeric powder and mix.

Step 4: Immediately add cubed potatoes, salt, red chili powder, and coriander powder.

Step 5: Mix well so all the masala is coated to the potatoes. Cook for 1-2 minutes or until potatoes get shot. If it is sticking to the pan then add a splash of water and continue.

Step 6: Now add lemon juice and mix. Turn off the stove. Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve.
