How to Make Cumin Potatoes: A Step-by-Step Guide

Cumin potatoes, a crispy and aromatic dish, are loved for their golden edges and savory flavor. Here’s a simple yet delicious recipe to try at home.

Ingredients: 2 medium potatoes (sliced thinly), 1 tbsp cumin seeds, 1 tsp chili powder, ½ tsp turmeric powder, 1 tbsp soy sauce, salt to taste, 2 tbsp cooking oil, and fresh cilantro for garnish.

Steps:

1. Prep the potatoes: Soak sliced potatoes in cold water for 10 minutes to remove excess starch, then pat dry completely. This ensures maximum crispiness.

2. Season the potatoes: In a bowl, toss the potato slices with oil, chili powder, turmeric, salt, and soy sauce until evenly coated.

3. Cook the potatoes: Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them sizzle until fragrant (about 30 seconds). Add the potatoes in a single layer, frying for 4-5 minutes per side until golden and crispy. For a healthier version, air-fry at 200°C for 20 minutes, flipping halfway.

4. Finish and serve: Sprinkle extra cumin powder and chopped cilantro over the hot potatoes. Serve warm as a snack or side dish.

Tips: For extra flavor, add minced garlic or bell peppers while frying. Adjust spice levels to your preference. Enjoy this crispy, cumin-infused treat that pairs perfectly with rice or bread!
