Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp Oil
  • 1/4 tsp Fenugreek Seeds
  • 1/2 tsp Cumin Seeds
  • 1/4 tsp Turmeric Powder
  • 300 gm Potatoes Peeled & cut into long pieces, or square/small pieces as preferred
  • 10-12 Garlic Cloves crushed or made into a paste
  • 3 Dry Red Chilli optional
  • 9-10 Black Pepper Powder
  • Salt to taste
  • Asafoetida powder / hing powder a pinch, optional

Instructions
 

  • Heat a cast-iron griddle (tava) and add oil. Let the oil heat up.
  • Once the oil is hot, add fenugreek seeds and roast them well. Then, add cumin seeds and roast them until fragrant.
  • Add a little turmeric powder, then add the long-cut potatoes that have been washed and drained.
  • On medium heat, saute the potatoes for 2-3 minutes, mixing them well. Continue to stir occasionally for about 5-7 minutes until they are well roasted. There's no need to cover them with a lid.
  • Create a space in the centre of the pan where some oil remains. Add the crushed garlic cloves and saute them until they turn a light golden colour.
  • If desired, add the dry red chillies.
  • Mix all the ingredients together well on medium heat.
  • Add the finely crushed black peppercorns and salt to taste.
  • Saute everything together for another 2-3 minutes on medium heat.
  • The dish is ready to be served.
  • Tips: This recipe is very flavourful and doesn't require chilli powder or even the dried red chillies if you prefer; only the black pepper and salt are sufficient.
