Recipe is very simple and easy. If you want to make it gluten free skip hing or asafoetida. I used hing as tempering or tadka with cumin seeds and dry red chilli. Use only cumin seeds and dry red chilli if you want. Lemon juice, lemon zest and little curd or yogurt made this dish perfectly tangy and tasty. This lemon potato is in one word chatpata or lipsmackingly delicious and absolutely flavorful because of cumin powder, mint and cilantro or coriander leaves. These potatoes can be also served as snacks. Serve with toothpick with tea or coffee. Or simply enjoy your munching time.
