Sesame Crusted Potatoes

• 5 to 6 medium potaotes
• 1 1/2 tsp oil
• 1/2 tsp cumin seeds
• pinch asafoetida (optional but it adds a nice flavor)
• few curry leaves
• 1 or 2 Finely chopped green chilies
• 1 1 /2 tbsp roasted sesame seeds
• 1/4 tsp Turmeric
• 1 tsp sugar
• salt to taste
• some lemon juice about 1/2 tsp
• coriander to garnish

1. Chop potatoes in like french fries. Keep medium thickness of the potatoes- not too thick not too thin. Keep the size uniform as you want all of them to cook at the same time. Keep them in water until we are ready to cook them.
2. Heat some oil in a pan. Add cumin seeds, asafetida just when the seeds crackle it won't take too long add the green chilies and curry leaves. Followed by curry leaves add the sesame seeds, and the potatoes. Stir and add sugar, salt, and turmeric powder. Let the potatoes crisp up. You can cover the pan to create some steam inside that way the potatoes will cook thoroughly.
3. In few minutes check if the potatoes are cooked well by cutting them with your spatula. If you can cut through easily, they are done. Turn off the stove and add lemon juice and garnish with some coriander leaves.
4. Enjoy them with some dal and rice or make roti wraps with the filling.rnYou can also enjoy them as a side dish with fried eggs.
