Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel the potatoes and cut them into small cubes (about 1-inch pieces). Rinse the potatoes under cold water and set aside.

  2. 2

    Measure the Spices

    In a small bowl, measure out turmeric powder, red chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix them together and set aside.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet or pan, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium heat.

  2. 4

    Add Cumin Seeds

    Once the oil is hot, add the cumin seeds to the pan. Sauté for about 30 seconds until they become fragrant.

  3. 5

    Cook the Potatoes

    Add the cubed potatoes to the pan and stir well to coat them in the oil and cumin. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  4. 6

    Add Spices

    Sprinkle the mixed spices over the potatoes. Stir well to evenly distribute the spices. Continue cooking for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and cooked through.

  5. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Once the potatoes are cooked, remove from heat and garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve hot with rice or flatbread.
