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.

Put the lid on.
When the sabzi start boiling , add dry mango powder.

Stir properly.

Cook the sabzi for 15-20 mins or until all the water is absorbed.

Roast the potatoes for another 5 mins.
