1
Prepare the Potatoes
Peel and chop the potatoes into small cubes. Rinse them under cold water and set aside.
2
Heat the Oil
In a large pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the cumin seeds and sauté until they begin to crackle.
3
Add Garlic and Ginger
Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
4
Cook the Potatoes
Add the chopped potatoes to the pan. Sprinkle in the turmeric powder and salt. Stir well to coat the potatoes with the spices.
5
Cover and Cook
Cover the pan and cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and cooked through.
6
Garnish and Serve
Once the potatoes are cooked, remove from heat. Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve hot.
