1 tsp roasted ground cumin (*read blog post for homemade recipe)
2–3 green chillies (sliced)
1 red onion (sliced)
juice from a small lemon
1–3 tbsp mint coriander chutney
2–3 tbsp chopped fresh coriander
2–4 tbsp sev
Instructions
boil Preheat oven to 230°C/446°F. Wash, peel and chop potatoes. I like to keep my knife at an angle when chopping the potatoes, to create more surface, this creates crispier potatoes. Add chopped potatoes into a pot filled with cold water. Stir in 1/2tbsp salt and bring the water to a boil. Once the water starts to boil, boil for 5-7 minutes, or until potatoes are 90% cooked.
bake Once your potatoes are done boiling, drain with a colander. Shake the colander a couple of times to fluff up the edges of the potatoes. Transfer potatoes onto a baking tray. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt + black pepper. Mix together, then place the potatoes facing down on the side with the flattest surface. Bake for 30 minutes, flip and bake for 15 minutes more.
toss with spices Transfer potatoes into a pot, or a bowl. Sprinkle red chilli powder, salt, chaat masala, amchur powder and roasted cumin powder over the potatoes. Add onions, lemon juice and green chillies. Close the pot with a lid and shake until all the potatoes are covered with spices.
garnish Transfer onto a serving plate, top with mint coriander chutney, sev and chopped coriander. Give everything a good stir before eating warm! – You can also add these ingredients with the others in the previous step if that's easier for you!
