A delightful and aromatic Indian dish featuring potatoes cooked with mustard seeds and a blend of spices.
Ingredients
| 1 | teaspoon cumin seed |
|---|---|
| 1 | teaspoon brown mustard seeds |
| 1 | large onion, finely chopped |
| 3 | serrano chilies, split lengthwise |
| 4 | medium potatoes, peeled and cut into ½-inch pieces |

| 1 1⁄2 | teaspoons ground coriander |
| 1⁄2 | teaspoon turmeric |
| salt, to taste | |
| 1⁄2 | teaspoon cayenne pepper |
| 1 | tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro |
Instructions
| 1. | In a hot dry skillet over high heat, toast cumin seeds and brown mustard seeds, swirling the pan, until the seeds start to pop. |
|---|---|
| 2. | Reduce the heat to medium and add finely chopped onions, split serrano chilies, and a small amount of water. Cook until the onion is tender, adding more water as needed to prevent sticking. |

| 5. | If the liquid evaporates, add a small amount of water at a time to maintain the desired consistency. |
| 6. | Just before serving, gently fold in the chopped fresh cilantro. |
