Also, this is no onion no garlic dish. In fasting days also you can make this dish. Only thing is to remember to add rock salt instead of regular salt.
So this stir-fried potatoes with dominating flavor of cumins is quick, delicious, and flavorful. However, in this recipe, I'm not adding any of our ground spices other than little coriander powder. Fresh coriander leaves are great options to give it a fresh herby flavor.
I have added finely chopped green chillies to make it spicy. So basic ingredients are potatoes, salt, cumin seeds, green chillies, coriander powder, coriander leaves. I would say coriander powder is optional too. You can try this with lots of fresh coriander leaves also.
How to Serve jeera aloo or stir-fried potatoes?
This is a versatile and simple dish. Try this combination of jeera rice, dal tadka, and jeera aloo. I love this combination. I have some nostalgic memories with this combo. This also goes well with roti, paratha, or poori. If you want to add red chili powder you can do so but I have added only green chilies to spice it up.
I love quick and easy recipes that can be made by everybody easily. If you like such recipes, please read similar quick recipes like Bombay potatoes, mix vegetable fry, kashifal ki sabzi, aloo matar, aloo tomato curry.
