Method

Soak the diced potatoes in water for at least 5 minutes. Take a normal polybag and place the diced potatoes in it and tie it properly. Now with the help of a knife, poke the plastic bag from all the sides. Now put the polybag in the microwave for 5 minutes. Carefully take out the plastic from the microwave and keep it aside for 2 minutes. 

Carefully cut the plastic and take out the boiled potatoes in a bowl.

Heat a pan and add oil. Once it is hot, add cumin seeds and hing . Roast the cumin seeds for few seconds.

Next, add the ginger and green chillies. Fry it for a few seconds then add all the spices, salt, and sugar. Add a tablespoon of water to it to prevent it from burning.

Mix the masala and add the boiled potatoes to it. Saute it well so that the potatoes are well coated with the masala. Cover it and let it cook for 3-4 minutes on medium flame.

If it is too dry then splash some water and again cover it and further cook for another 5 minutes.

You can garnish it with fresh coriander leaves. Serve hot with poori or paratha. Here, I served it with palak paratha.

Thank you and happy cooking
