instructions
    1

    Begin by peeling and dicing the potatoes into small cubes. Set them aside. This should take about 5 minutes.

    2

    Dice the onions and chop the green bell peppers into bite-sized pieces. Grate the ginger and mince the garlic. This should take around 5-10 minutes.

    3

    In a large pan, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium heat. Add 1 teaspoon of cumin seeds and allow them to splutter for about 30 seconds.

    4

    Add the diced onion and sauté until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.

    5

    Next, add the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

    6

    Introduce the cubed potatoes to the pan and stir well, coating them with the spices.

    7

    Add 1 teaspoon of coriander powder, 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder, 1 teaspoon of red chili powder, and salt to taste. Stir everything together, ensuring the potatoes are well combined with the spices.

    8

    Pour in a splash of water to help the potatoes cook. Cover the pan and let it cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender.

    9

    After the potatoes are cooked through, add the diced green bell pepper and cook for an additional 5 minutes until they are slightly tender but still crisp.

    10

    Lastly, turn off the heat and garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.
