Step 1
Peel and dice the 4 potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes. Finely chop the 1 onion and slice the 2 green chilies.
Step 2
Heat the 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the 1 tsp cumin seeds and cook until they sizzle and turn fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Step 3
Add the chopped onion and green chilies. Cook, stirring, until the onion is soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 4
Add the diced potatoes and 1 tsp salt. Stir to coat with the spices. Cover and cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and lightly browned, about 12-15 minutes.
Step 5
Uncover and increase heat to medium-high. Cook, stirring, for 2-3 minutes until any excess moisture evaporates and the potatoes get crispy edges. Serve hot, garnished with fresh coriander if you have it.
