Wash and boil the potatoes till almost done. peel and keep aside.
I have used baby potatoes so using them whole but if you are using big potatoes then chop into medium size cubes.
Roughly crush green chilies , fresh coriander and ginger and keep aside.
Dry roast coriander seeds and cumin for few minutes and then crush them coarsely
Heat mustard oil in a iron kadhai preferably or use a heavy bottom pan available.
Now add jakhiya seeds in the hot oil.
Then add whole dry red chili, crushed coriander and cumin ,pounded green chili ,ginger paste , asafoetida and sauté for few seconds
Add turmeric powder and then add the potatoes in the pan, stir to mix.
Now add salt, red chili powder and stir fry to mix well
Reduce the heat and cover the pan with a lid and let the potatoes roast on the lowest heat for about 2 minutes or till they are fully cooked and get few golden spots on them.
Turn off the heat and add fresh coriander and lemon juice and mix well.
Serve hot as a starter or side dish with your meal.
Enjoy!

Note-

you can use dry spices like red chili powder and mango powder or use fresh herbs like green chili , ginger and lemon juice.
instead of lemon juice you can use mango powder
if jakhiya is not available then use mustard seeds.
You can easily order Jakhiya online if not available in your area or city.
