Aaloo Jeera

Wanted something quick and easy for lunch today as I wasn't in the mood to make any daal. So tried my hand at another new recipe - Jeera Aaloo. Came out well actually! And here is the result with a listing of how I got there.

Ingredients

Potatoes - 250 gms / peeled and cut into 1 inch cubes
Red Chilly Powder - 1 teaspoon
Coriander Powder - 1 teaspoon
Turmeric Powder - a pinch
Jeera / Cumin Seeds - 1 teaspoon (dry roasted and kept)
Tomatoes - 2
Onions - 1
Oil - 1 table spoon
Salt to taste

Method
1) Heat a pan with the oil and saute in the chopped onions into it.
2) Once the onions change to light brown, put in the tomatoes and the powders. Mix well.
3) Cook on high flame until the tomatoes are done cooking and have mixed well with the spices.
4) Now add the potatoes with about 1/2 glass water (or more depending on the amount of potatoes you are using) and mix well.
5) Let this cook until the potatoes are done properly. Cover and let it boil. You can always stick in a fork to check if the potatoes are done.
6) Once done, stir in the roasted jeera seeds and salt to taste.

That's it! Piping hot Jeera Aaloo is now ready to be had with either rice and/or roti/chapati etc.

Enjoy!
