1 pound
Salt
to taste 
Turmeric
1 pinch
Vegetable oil
2 tbsp
Cumin seeds
1 tsp
Powdered asafoetida
¼ tsp
Green chillies – seeds and finely chopped

Put potatoes in a pot filled with salted water. Add the turmeric and bring to a boil over medium heat. Cook until potatoes are just tender, about 5 minutes. Drain potatoes and pat dry with paper towels.

Heat the oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Stir in cumin seeds and fry until they pop, about 30 seconds. Sprinkle asafetida into skillet, add chillies, and fry, stirring constantly, until the mixture is fragrant, about 1 minute.

Add potatoes to spices and fry, stirring occasionally, until golden and crisp, about 5 minutes. Add peanuts, mix, and season to taste with salt.
