Aloo Jeera is a wholesome Indian vegetable dish cooked with traditional spices and fresh ingredients. This healthy vegetarian preparation is a family staple that supports clean eats and balanced nutrition.
Peel and dice the potatoes into 1-inch cubes, then soak in cold water for 10 minutes to remove excess starch.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add potatoes and parboil for 6–7 minutes until just fork-tender but not fully cooked. Drain and set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them sizzle for 45 seconds, until aromatic.
Add ginger and finely chopped green chili; sauté for 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
Add parboiled potatoes, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Stir well to coat the potatoes evenly with the spices.
Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, on medium heat for 8–10 minutes until the potatoes turn crisp and lightly golden.
Turn off the heat. Sprinkle with fresh lemon juice and chopped cilantro, tossing everything gently to combine before serving.
