How to Make Indian Potatoes With Mustard Seeds Sookhi Bhaji

Heat 1 teaspoon cumin seeds and 1 teaspoon mustard seeds in a hot dry skillet over high heat. Swirl the pan constantly until the seeds begin to pop (about 1 minute).
Reduce heat to medium.
Add 1 medium onion (finely chopped), 1-2 green chilies (finely chopped), and 2 tablespoons of water.
Cook until the onion is tender, about 5 minutes, adding more water (1 tablespoon at a time) as needed to prevent sticking.
Add 1.5 lbs potatoes (peeled and cubed), 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1 teaspoon ground coriander, 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste). Stir well to combine.
Add 2/3 cup water, cover the skillet, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and the spices are absorbed. Add a tablespoon of water at a time if all the liquid evaporates before the potatoes are cooked.
Just before serving, gently fold in 1/4 cup chopped cilantro.
Serve hot and enjoy!
