Steps

1. To begin making the Jodhpuri Aloo Recipe, wash and pressure cook the baby potatoes for four whistles, until they are well cooked. Peel the skin, cut them into halves and keep aside.
2. Heat oil in a heavy bottomed pan, add the dry red chilli, cumin seeds, fennel seeds, white sesame seeds and let it splutter.
3. Add the red chilli flakes and flavour the oil.
4. Now, add in the boiled baby potatoes along with kashmiri red chili powder and turmeric powder. Season with salt and mix well.
5. Let the jodhpuri aloo roast on the slow heat, toss the baby potatoes occasionally from time to time.
