Boil the potatoes in their jackets until they offer no resistance when pierced with a knife. Let cool, peel and dice 1".
In a cast iron skillet, heat the canola oil over medium-hot flame. Add the seeds all at once and stir. Just as they begin to pop, add the diced potatoes, stirring gently to cover and coat with seeds.
Lower heat to medium and cook for 10 minutes, then add the salt. You may also add a dash of cayenne pepper if you like a bit of heat.
Cook until the potatoes are beginning to brown and turn crispy. Add the juice of 1/2 a lemon and stir gently. Serve with coriander chutney.
Very tasty with any Indian food, but also good at a picnic with traditional picnic fare.
