Aloo Jeera Recipe | Jeera Aloo Recipe | Potato with Cumin seeds Recipe

Aloo Jeera (Jeera Aloo) is one of the popular dry curry in most of the Indian Restaurants. A very simple and easy to make dish with one of the favorite veggie Potato. Steam cooked potatoes are tossed in spices and finally garnished with coriander leaves. I have used ginger and garlic which gives a nice flavor, but you can make this dish without garlic also. Serve these delicious Aloo Jeera (Jeera Aloo) with Indian flat bread or any rice varieties of your choice. I personally like with peas pulao.
