# Ingredientes

2 large Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes (about 4 cups) 2 tablespoons neutral oil, such as grapeseed or canola 1 tablespoon urad dal (split black gram) ½ teaspoon cumin seeds ¼ teaspoon black mustard seeds 2 tablespoons roughly chopped roasted cashews 1 green finger chile (or serrano chile), finely chopped 1 (1-inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and finely chopped 1 medium yellow onion, chopped ½ teaspoon kosher salt, plus more as needed ¼ teaspoon ground turmeric ¼ cup chopped cilantro leaves and tender stems ½ lemon, for squeezing

# Proceso

  1. Bring a pot of water to boil over high. Once the water boils, add the potatoes. Cook until tender, about 10 minutes, then drain in a colander.

  2. In a heavy pot, heat the oil over medium. Add the urad dal, cumin and mustard seeds, and fry until cumin seeds are browned and dal is crisp, 1 to 2 minutes.

  3. Stir in the cashews, chile and ginger, and cook for another 2 minutes.

  4. Add the onion, salt and turmeric, and lower the heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is translucent and tender but not browned, about 5 minutes.

  5. Tip the cooked potatoes, half the cilantro and 1/4 cup water into the pot, and stir well to coat. As you stir, let some of the potato get mashed. If the mixture seems dry, add a splash more of water.

  6. Cook over low, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are heated through, about 5 minutes, then season to taste with salt. Scrape into a serving dish; top with a generous squeeze of lemon and the remaining cilantro.
