  1. Peel the potatoes and cut them into cubes. Bring a pan of water to the boil and add the potatoes. Cook until tender (about 10 minutes).
  2. In a heavier pan, heat the oil over a medium heat. Add in the cumin seed and mustard seeds and fry until the cumin seeds are browned (1 to 2 minutes). Stir in the cashews, chilli and ginger and cook for a further 2 more minutes.
  3. Add in the onion, salt and turmeric and lower the heat. Cook until the onion is translucent but not brown, stirring occasionally (about 5 minutes).
  4. Add the potatoes, half the coriander and ¼ cup of water to the pan and stir to coat the potatoes. If the mixture becomes dry, add more water. Cook over a low heat, until the potatoes are cooked through, stirring occasionally.
  5. Season to taste with salt and serve with a squeeze of lemon and the rest of the coriander. Enjoy!
