How to Make Aloo Phujia

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add 1 large chopped onion and cook until lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
  2. Stir in 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste), 1 teaspoon turmeric powder, and 1 teaspoon cumin powder. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
  3. Add 1.5 lbs potatoes (cubed), and cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened.
  4. Add 1 lb tomatoes (chopped) and 1/2 cup of water.
  5. Cover the skillet and cook for another 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the sauce has thickened slightly. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  6. Garnish with fresh cilantro (optional) before serving. Enjoy your delicious Aloo Phujia!
