"Aloo Jeera" in Hindi means Potatoes(Aloo) with Cumin(Jeera). Understandably this side dish focuses on Potatoes and Cumin. This falls under one of those categories where the recipe is way to easy for anyone to cook, too effortless and the time that it takes to make it is peanuts. So, it is right to expect variations galore – each variation suited to the palate and creativity of the cook. The most common and popular variation is where potatoes are chopped into sizable chunks, boiled, peeled and then stir fried with some cumin, ginger garlic and Indian seasonings. Simple isn’t it?

So what’s different about this recipe you ask? Nothing much really- except that I used Baby potatoes, boiled them just soft enough to have a delicious bite to it, cooked in its skin to retain all the nutrients, kept it in the skillet long enough for it to have a slightly roasted appearance on its surface. That’s it :) Other than that it is just the same.
