Jeera Aloo

Jeera Aloo is a classic veg Ghar ka Khaana dish from North India, prepared without deep frying. This simple yet flavour-packed recipe features boiled potato cubes sautéed with jeera (cumin seeds)—the hero ingredient that gives the dish its signature earthy aroma. The potatoes are tossed in everyday spices like turmeric, red chilli powder, coriander powder, and sometimes amchur for a hint of tanginess. Fresh herbs such as coriander leaves and green chillies add brightness and aroma. Despite its simplicity, Jeera Aloo is incredibly satisfying and pairs wonderfully with rotis, parathas, pooris, and even dal–rice.
