Aloo Jeera Recipe

Aloo Jeera recipe is quite similar to potato roast but here we add extra jeera for more flavour. This recipe is more popular in North India especially Punjab. Simple yet tasty dish for all potato lovers. It goes well with almost all curries like dal, sambar, rasam..etc. Quick to make dish in a jiffy with very limited ingredients available in our pantry.

You could freshly roast and grind the cumin and coriander seeds too for more fresh flavour. I have served here with Palak dal.

INGREDIENTS: 
Potato- 3 nos
Oil- 3 teaspoon
Jeera| cumin seeds- 1 teaspoon
Salt- to taste
Turmeric powder- 1/4 teaspoon
Red chilli powder- 1 teaspoon
Coriander powder- 1 teaspoon
Cumin powder- 1/2 teaspoon
Coriander leaves- to garnish

PROCEDURE:

• Pressure cook the potatoes for 3 whistles until they cook soft. Once they cool down peel them and cut them in to medium sized cubes or pieces.
• Heat oil in a pan and add the jeera once the aroma arises add the potato pieces with some salt.
• Toss in the oil till the potatos coats and the outer layer starts to brown.

• Now add the turmeric powder, red chilli powder, coriander powder and cumin powder and mix well and cook till the raw flavour leaves.
• Finally add the chopped coriander leaves and switch off the gas.
