Jeera aloo is a delightful and mouthwatering Indian cuisine. It has an aromatic flavor of cumin seeds, with almost everyone's favorite tempting potatoes.
For boiling potatoes, heat 2 glasses of water in a pressure cooker. Now add washed potatoes to it. Close the lid and take 4-5 whistles on low flame.
Once the steam comes out open the cooker and take out potatoes. Let them cool.
Peel the potatoes and cut them into medium size pieces.
Now, heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a kadhai. Add 2 teaspoons of cumin seeds, 1/4 teaspoon of asafoetida, 2 finely chopped chilies and 4-5 curry leaves to it. Saute it until the chilies become crisp.
Now, add chopped potatoes, 1 teaspoon of red chili powder, 1/4 teaspoon of turmeric powder, and 1/2 tablespoon of salt to it. Mix it well. Cover and cook for 2-3 minutes.
Add finely chopped coriander to it and serve tasty jeera aloo.
