1 Capsicum thinly sliced, vertically
1/2 Tomato diced
1/2 tsp. Ginger finely chopped
1/2 tsp. Garlic finely chopped or crushed
2 Green Chillies slit vertically
1 tbsp. Coriander leaves finely chopped
1/2 tsp. Garam masala

1/2 tsp. Dhania (Coriander seeds) powder
1/6 tsp. Turmeric powder
1/4 tsp. Pepper powder
1/2 tsp. Cumin seeds crushed coarsely
Salt to taste
2 tbsp. Oil



  1. Chop potatoes into med. sized cubes, keeping skins.

  2. Add all dry masalas, toss potatoes, keep aside.

Just before serving:

  1. Heat oil in a kadai, add ginger garlic, stir for a moment.

  2. Add onions, capsicum, stirfry till onions are tender.

  3. Add tomatoes, chillies, stir for 1 minute.

  4. Add seasoned potatoes, check taste for salt, etc.

  5. Stir and saute for 2-3 minutes.

  6. Garnish with chopped coriander leaves.

Note:
If you prefer richer taste of potatoes, you may deep fry potatoes till go lden, before adding masalas. Of coarse the calorie count of the dish will shoot up!! But they taste heavenly. In this case omit amchoor powder, sprinkle juice of lemon instead, just before adding coriander leaves. Toss well to mix and then garnish.
