Method

Wash and boil the potatoes with enough water.
Pressure cook for 4-5 whistles . Let them cool down.

Peel the boiled potatoes and cut into small pieces.

Heat the oil in a pan . Add jeera and green chilly . I am adding dry red chilly because we don't want too much heat.



When they start crackle , add turmeric powder and  coriander powder. Sprinkle some water otherwise masala get burned.

Add boiled potatoes , add salt and garam masala .


Give it a good mix and add little water about 1/4 cup.
