Aloo jeera

Method

1. 1 Cut raw potatoes into 2 cm cubes and soak them in water for 10 minutes to remove excess starch.
2. 2 Pat the potatoes dry thoroughly, then sauté them in ghee over medium heat for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally; sautéing raw potatoes instead of pre-boiled ones ensures the edges are crisp.
3. 3 Sauté cumin seeds and a pinch of shallots in the corner of the pan for 30 seconds, then mix into the potatoes.
4. 4 Add the sliced green chilies and salt, and stir for another 4 minutes until the potatoes are evenly browned.
5. 5 Sprinkle with chaat masala, cilantro, and squeeze in some lime juice immediately after turning off the heat.
