Peel the baby potatoes and cut them in half. Boil them with turmeric and salt until tender.
Heat oil in a pan and add cumin seeds. Once they start to splutter, add the boiled potatoes.
Add all the dry spices (red chilli powder, turmeric powder, roasted cumin powder, and coriander powder) to the pan and sauté well.
Season the potatoes and adjust the taste as needed.
Once the spices are cooked, add the chopped cilantro and makhni gravy. Toss everything together until well combined.
Ensure the potatoes are boiled just until tender and not overcooked to maintain their shape.
You can adjust the spice levels by reducing or increasing the red chilli powder.
For a richer flavor, you can add a dollop of butter to the makhni gravy before tossing it with the potatoes.
