• Then add onions and saute well for 3 to 4 minutes or until the raw smell leaves. Now add red chilli powder, coriander powder, salt and stir well. Cook on low flame. 
• Then add the chopped potatoes and stir well. It will take some time for the potatoes to get cooked well so keep stirring frequently.
• When it is almost half cooked add pepper powder and stir well. 
• After about 20 minutes the potatoes will get cooked well. 
• Take a piece of the potato and check if it has got cooked well. Now remove from flame and serve. 

TIP 1: Stirring is very much essential to make the stir-fry taste good and also helps prevent the potato pieces from sticking to the bottom and getting burnt. 

TIP 2: Always keep flame on low mode to get the vegetables cooked evenly inside and outside.
