Ingredients
-
4 potatoes, peeled and cubed
-
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
-
1 teaspoon yellow mustard seeds
-
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
-
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
-
1 teaspoon ground coriander
-
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste (Optional)
-
½ teaspoon salt, or to taste
-
3 tablespoons minced onion
Directions
-
Place cubed potatoes in a saucepan and cover with water. Cover with a lid and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once water is boiling, cook until potatoes are just tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Drain well and set aside.
-
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add mustard seeds and cumin seeds and heat until they start to pop. Add turmeric, coriander, cayenne pepper, and salt. Cook and stir until spices are fragrant, up to 1 minute, watching carefully so spices do not burn. Add onion and cook until softened, 2 to 3 minutes.
-
Add drained potatoes to the skillet and increase heat to medium-high. Cook and stir to thoroughly coat the potatoes with the spice mixture. Taste and season with more salt, if desired. Serve immediately.
Cook’s Note
For additional flavor, you can add ginger and/or garlic paste at the same time as adding the onion.
You can add about 1/3 cup frozen peas to the potatoes during the last 3 minutes of boiling, then continue with the recipe as directed.
