Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need for this recipe:

Potatoes (ਆਲੂ): The base of the dish. Roast up tender inside and crisp on the edges.

Avocado Oil: Helps the potatoes roast evenly and get crispy.

Garam Masala (ਗਰਮ ਮਸਾਲਾ): Adds warm, comforting flavour without heat.

Salt: Enhances the flavour of the potatoes and spices.

Black Pepper: Adds mild heat and balance.

Ground Cumin (ਜੀਰਾ): Earthy and warming spice.

Ground Coriander (ਧਨੀਆ): Light note that keeps the spices balanced.

Turmeric (ਹਲਦੀ): Adds colour and subtle earthiness.

Garlic Powder: Savoury depth without burning.

Cayenne (optional): For a touch of heat.

Lemon Juice (optional): Brightens everything at the end.

Kitchenware

You’ll also need:

• Large mixing bowl
• Baking sheet
• Parchment paper
• Knife + cutting board
• Oven (or air fryer)

Steps

1. Preheat the oven: Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Season the potatoes: Add cubed potatoes to a large bowl. Drizzle with oil, then sprinkle over all the spices and salt. Toss well until every piece is coated.
3. Spread and roast: Spread potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet, leaving space between pieces.
4. Bake: Roast for 30–35 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crisp on the edges.
5. Finish: Remove from the oven. Squeeze over a little lemon juice if using and finish with chopped cilantro.

Tips & Notes

• Air fryer option: works great when you want them fast
  • Preheat air fryer to 380°F
  • Cook for 18–22 minutes, shaking halfway through
