For Potato Marinade

• 1 kg of baby potatoes
• 1 spoon of turmeric powder
• 2 spoons of salt

For the Tadka 

• 2 spoons of desi ghee
• 1 spoon of hing
• 2 spoons of cumin
• 2 spoons of coriander seeds

Sautee the onions in the spices. Then, add the red chilli powder, turmeric powder, coriander powder and finely chopped ginger.
