Heat the oil on medium heat in a good frying pan for about 2 minutes. Gently lower the potatoes into the oil. Let the potato skins cook undisturbed for 6 to 7 minutes until the potatoes gently turn golden and turn crisp.
6
Turn the potatoes and continue cooking on the other side until both sides are evenly browned.
7
Drain the potato skins on paper towels
8
While the potatoes are cooking, gently heat the cumin and coriander seeds for 1 minute until they smell toasty.

Place the cumin and coriander in a spice mill, with the fenugreek leaves, pomegranate seeds and the black peppercorns and grind to the smooth powder.
