Cumin powder- 1 teaspoon
Red chilli powder-1/2 a teaspoon
Salt to taste

Coriander leaves to garnish
- In a microwave safe bowl,put in potato and enough water and microwave covered for 5 minutes or till the potato is 90% done.
- Drain remaining water and keep aside.
- In a microwave safe bowl put in oil and potato and mix.
- Microwave on high for 4 minutes,stirring at the end of the second minute.Let it cool.
