Instructions
- 1
Place the potato cubes in a large pot and cover with cold salted water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a steady simmer and cook for 8–10 minutes, until just tender when pierced with a knife but not falling apart. Drain and set aside.

Wipe out the pot and heat the oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the cumin seeds and cook for 30–45 seconds, until they sizzle and turn a shade darker — watch closely, as they can burn quickly.
