Jeera Aloo is an easy side dish which can be prepared in minutes.

Today I will be sharing the perfect tip on how you can make the jeera aloo that you get in restaurant.

  1. You have to boil potatoes well in advance and give them enough time to cool down themselves.
  2. Potatoes kept is refrigerator are hard and won’t work.
  3. Heat mustard oil till smoking point and then turn the heat off. The residual heat is enough to cook jeera Aloo.
  4. Don’t mix too much after adding the masalas, just enough that it’s well incorporated.
  5. You have to know how much measurements masala to put, adding anything later ruins the taste.
  6. I like to use an aluminium kadai/ vessel for this. For some reason it tastes better.

The jeera aloo is so tasty that I could eat them directly or with some crispy bread. The are so melt in the mouth. Taste good with a simple moong daal and achaar. Some things in life are so simple to make but provides so much comfort.
