👨‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Heat oil in a pan over medium heat.

2. Add mustard seeds and cumin seeds; let them splutter.

3. Add chopped onions, green chilies, and grated ginger. Sauté until onions turn translucent.

4. Add turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and salt. Stir well.

5. Add the boiled potatoes and mix everything well so that the spices coat the potatoes evenly.

6. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, so the potatoes absorb the flavors.

7. Sprinkle garam masala (if using) and mix well.

8. Turn off the heat and add lemon juice if you like a tangy touch.

9. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves.
