- Jeera Aloo is ready to be served. Serve it with your favourite paranthas or with roti.

Notes
- The potatoes should be semi boiled so that it can be properly cooked with spices without breaking it.
- Aamchur Powder can be replaced with Lemon Juice also.
- While cooking if the boiled potatoes stick to the bottom of the kadai or pan, you can add little amount of water to resist it.
- You can add Red Chilli Powder in place of Green Chilli. I have used Kashmiri Chilli Powder since I have added Green Chilli. Kashmiri Chilli Powder is used only colour.
