1
Wash the potato matchsticks thoroughly in cold water and drain completely to remove excess starch.
2
Heat mustard oil in a heavy-bottomed iron kadhai until it smokes, then reduce heat slightly.

Add cumin seeds and dry red chilies, allowing them to splutter for a few seconds.
4
Add the white sesame seeds and let them release their nutty aroma in the hot oil.
5
Add the drained potato matchsticks, turmeric powder, and salt. Mix well to coat the potatoes evenly.
6
Cover and cook on medium-low heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender.
7
Remove the lid, increase the heat to medium-high, and fry uncovered until the edges turn golden and crispy.

Sprinkle red chili powder and amchur powder, toss well for another 2 minutes, and turn off the heat.
9
Serve hot as a delicious side dish with traditional meals.
