- Peel and boil the potatoes until soft. Mash them in a bowl. In a pan, heat oil, add mustard seeds and cumin seeds. Once they splutter, add chopped green chilies, curry leaves, turmeric powder, and asafoetida. Stir, then add the mashed potatoes, salt, and chopped coriander leaves. Mix well and cook for a couple of minutes.
