Jeera Aloo

      Jeera - Cumin seed - is one of the most widely used spices in India and also around the world. Personally, it is one of my favorite spice because of its distinctive flavor and aroma. You will find the use of Cumin seeds in almost all of my recipes.

Today, we have my personal favorite Potato - Cumin vegetable dish. It is usually served with a flatbread like Roti, paratha etc. I absolutely love having it with Methi Thepla.
