Recipe
1
Heat sesame oil in a heavy-bottomed iron pan over medium heat and sputter the mustard and cumin seeds.
2
Add the fresh curry leaves and finely chopped onions, sautéing until the onions turn translucent and golden brown.
3
Stir in the ginger-garlic paste and cook for a minute until the raw aroma disappears.
4
Lower the heat and add turmeric powder, red chilli powder, and salt, mixing well with the onion base.
5
Add the boiled potato cubes into the pan, tossing gently to ensure each piece is well coated with the spice mixture.
6
Press the potatoes slightly against the pan and roast on medium-low flame without covering, stirring occasionally until a crisp outer crust forms.
7
Sprinkle freshly cracked black pepper over the potatoes in the final two minutes for an extra burst of spice.

Garnish with chopped coriander leaves and serve hot with steamed rice and rasam.
