Steps

1. Wash and boil the baby potatoes in salted water until tender but firm, about 10-15 minutes. Drain and set aside.
2. In a large pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds.

4. Stir in the grated ginger, minced garlic, and slit green chili. Sauté for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
