Report
Jeera aloo is a classic Indian side dish that tastes great paired with roti, naan, or rice. Boiled baby potatoes are sautéed with cumin seeds and spices. This simple, easy-to-cook side dish takes less than 15 minutes if you have your potatoes cooked. With no onions and no garlic, this is a great option during fasting days.

Ingredients
- 500 grams baby potatoes boiled
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 1 teaspoon ginger grated
- 1 tablespoon cumin seeds
- ½ teaspoon cumin powder
- 1 ½ teaspoon hing (asafoetida)
- ½ teaspoon turmeric powder

- Add boiled baby potatoes, and toss well.
- Toss until potatoes are coated well in the spices.

Notes
- Nutritional Info – Please keep in mind that the nutritional information provided is only a rough estimate and can vary greatly based on the products used.
- Baby potatoes can be substituted with regular potatoes diced into 1-inch cubes.
- To make it more flavorful dry roast 1 teaspoon whole cumin seeds, 1 ½ teaspoon whole coriander seeds, ½ teaspoon fennel seeds, and 3 dry red chilies until fragrant. Allow roasted spices to cool down a bit then coarsely ground the spices. Use these spices while sautéing boiled potatoes with the rest of the ingredients.
- Adjust the quantity of green chilies as per your heat tolerance levels.
- Heat oil well and then reduce flame for oil to cool down a bit. It's important to heat oil well and then cool it a bit (so whole cumin seeds do not burn) before sautéing cumin seeds, which will infuse the cumin flavors in the oil.
